Arizona AI Alliance


The AZ AI Alliance is a collective of education organizations who are committed to the responsible, ethical, and effective implementation of AI in Arizona’s K-12 schools.

We believe that responsible AI implementation can be an incredible agent of change in Arizona schools and classrooms if led by a true north star for student learning yet guided by the ethics that impact a just society. Our mission is guided by the GenAI Guidance for Arizona Schools which will anchor the Alliance’s work across five key areas:

  1. Strategic Guidance: Offering education leaders advice on AI strategy, planning, and implementation.
  2. Information Dissemination: Providing regular updates through an AI Alliance newsletter.
  3. Collaborative Learning: Utilizing a Community of Practice approach for those leading AI implementation in schools.
  4. Training and Professional Development: Delivering AI training and professional development opportunities tailored to various roles within schools and districts.
  5. Policy Advocacy: Promoting legislative policies that support responsible AI use in schools.

Sponsored by GPEMC/AZEMC, the AZ Artificial Intelligence Alliance Newsletter is published monthly. Each edition will provide:
