Oklahoma has established an Office of AI and Digital Learning within the Department of Education that supports school leaders, educators, families, and communities in integrating artificial intelligence and digital technologies into teaching and learning. The office’s mission is to ensure Oklahoma students develop the digital literacy and technological fluency needed to be college, career, and citizen-ready in an increasingly connected world.
The office provides guidance, resources, and professional development support to districts implementing AI tools, including a Model AI Use Policy with templates, rubrics, and communication resources designed to be locally adaptable. This infrastructure demonstrates state-level commitment to AI integration, though it operates primarily through voluntary guidance rather than binding curriculum mandates. The office works alongside the requirement in SB 1734 for districts to adopt AI policies by 2027-28.
Oklahoma schools including Broken Arrow High School have begun offering dedicated AI courses to juniors and seniors, and the state is building institutional capacity for broader AI education adoption. However, no statewide mandatory curriculum for AI literacy in K-12 has been adopted as of April 2026.
Scoring note: Dimension 13 (free/publicly funded resources) scores 1 for state-provided guidance and Model AI Use Policy templates. Dimension 1 (curriculum exists) scores 1 for voluntary/partial guidance through the Office of AI and Digital Learning.
