Watch the explainer: Utah’s 2027 AI Education Showdown
An exercise in civic dialogue
We’ve set out a chair for you.
We’ve put in the research and brought the sources together to build a clear picture of education in Utah today: how artificial intelligence is entering schools, what national and local initiatives mean, and the choices facing communities and the state legislature.
Now we’re purposefully setting a chair at the table for your participation. Ask a question. Challenge an interpretation. Make a different case. Explore what education could become. Follow the evidence, and there’s room to take the conversation somewhere none of us has thought of yet.
A shared foundation of facts. An open horizon of possibilities.
