Governance

The educational landscape is rapidly evolving, and CPS is committed to equipping our stakeholders with the tools and knowledge to thrive in the "Age of AI". To guide this effort, CPS has established an AI Steering Committee, a cross-governing body that meets bi-weekly to ensure a safe, responsible, and meaningful approach to GenAI across the District. This committee is dedicated to developing a District-wide framework that provides access to AI resources for all stakeholders, all while prioritizing safety, responsibility, and meaningful use. The members of these operating committees intermingle in three working groups: AI Risk, AI DevOps, and AI Literacy.
