What this law does
The Oklahoma Responsible Technology in Schools Act sets principles and guardrails for the use of artificial intelligence in Oklahoma public school districts, and among its stated purposes is protecting student data, privacy and educational integrity.
If artificial intelligence is used in a public school district, the artificial intelligence tools must comply with applicable federal and state student data privacy and security laws, including the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, and must meet recognized industry standards or otherwise stringent private audit and security standards. School districts must take reasonable steps to minimize the amount of student data shared with artificial intelligence tools.
Each school district must give the parents or legal guardians of its students, at least once a year, a written disclosure identifying all artificial intelligence tools in use in the district, the vendors providing them, the categories of student data collected, the extent to which student data is shared and the educational purpose of each tool.
Before the 2027-2028 school year begins, each school district board of education must adopt and maintain a policy governing the use of artificial intelligence and emerging technologies that, among other things, addresses student data protection and data minimization practices and complies with the Act's conditions on artificial intelligence use.
The Act does not require a public school district to use artificial intelligence in any school, and the State Board of Education may promulgate rules to implement it. The Governor approved the Act on ; it states that it becomes effective , and declares an emergency.
