About
About
The Minnesota Generative AI Alliance for Education (MNGAIA) is a cross-sector group of proactive, committed individuals collaborating to address the short-, medium-, and long-term needs in education. Our aim is to accelerate progress and create opportunities that enhance the learner experience, improve outcomes for all students, and support a talented, resource-rich local and statewide workforce, vibrant communities, and a thriving society.
Generative artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming how we live and work. As these technologies grow more capable and influential in our daily lives, education must embrace necessary shifts to prepare students for an ever-evolving future.
We are a coalition dedicated to the ethical and effective integration of AI into education, ensuring that humans remain at the forefront of decision-making and learning. Together, we are working to create a future where AI enhances educational equity, innovation, and opportunities for all.

The Vision
The Vision
Minnesota will lead the way in integrating AI into education, ensuring every learner gains the knowledge, skills, and self-determination to shape the future. AI in the hands of highly trained and skilled educators will personalize learning, fuel innovation, and empower students to think critically, solve complex problems, and thrive in an evolving workforce. While AI provides exciting opportunities, we understand it will never know the full context of a student's experience like their teacher does. It requires people to ensure ethical, transparent, and inclusive practices. AI can support—not replace—educators, strengthening relationships, expanding opportunities, and ensuring all students access high-quality learning. By working together across K-12, higher education, and communities, we will build a future where AI enhances human potential, accelerates discovery, and creates new pathways to success in learning, careers, and life.

Student-Centered Learning – AI should support relevant, engaging learning experiences that build critical thinking, digital literacy, and student agency, preparing learners with future-ready skills.
Thoughtful Evaluation – AI use must be transparent, fair, and accurate. Educators and students should develop AI literacy to understand its limitations, question biases, and use it responsibly.
Collaboration & Community Voice – Educators, in collaboration with their communities, should lead the integration of AI in education to ensure it empowers all learners with the skills needed for future success.
Lifelong Learning & Adaptability – AI should help students and educators develop skills to navigate new technologies and evolving career landscapes throughout their lives.
