Tennessee Opportunity for AI in Education

June 6, 2025
Document on Tennessee's AI opportunities in education, highlighting emerging trends and recommendations for AI integration in schools.

As Tennessee begins discussions around what types of policies and supports are needed for artificial intelligence (AI) in education, it’s critical to better understand the trends among early-adopting educators as they pilot AI tools and evaluate the impact on student learning. SCORE has provided a set of recommendations to the state’s AI Advisory Council through our new memo, Tennessee Opportunity for AI in Education. This resource is designed to help policy and education leaders reinforce Tennessee as an incubator of innovation that prepares students for careers of the future.  

Key Takeaways

Through this memo, readers will gain insight on the following: 

  • How generative AI is shifting desired skillsets in industry and the workforce, necessitating Tennessee education to respond so that students can gain the skills needed today to be competitive in high-demand, high-wage careers after graduating.
  • How emerging trends in AI in education have shown that educators are leading AI users, emphasizing an urgent need to provide guidance and support.
  • How Tennessee must promote AI literacy for all, summarized in recommendations that include professional development, alignment of AI literacy goals, the need to foster environments to learn from innovative pilots, and the need to engage partners across sectors to develop a cohesive vision for AI in education.
