LESC ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WORK GROUP

This House Memorial (HM 2) requests the Legislative Education Study Committee to form a work group focused on education data governance and artificial intelligence. The work group will include state agencies (like Public Education, Higher Education, and Tribal departments), school leaders, educators, students, tribal representatives, and AI/data experts. It will study key issues including improving data quality across education systems, ensuring responsible AI use in schools, protecting student data privacy, and addressing unique needs of New Mexico communities. The group aims to develop recommendations for better data policies and AI integration, but the memorial itself does not create new laws. This is a procedural step to coordinate existing data efforts, not a policy change.
