AI education is vital for Washington. Trump's order will help
President Donald Trump recently used his executive pen to advance AI education across the country. Signed on April 23, the 'Advancing Artificial Intelligence Education for American Youth' executive order implements a federal AI education framework for all K-12 schools and more. The president checks nearly every box that proponents of AI education are advocating for. The order creates a federal task force, holds student competitions, fosters industry collaboration and fast-tracks grant programs. According to the AI education order: 'To ensure the United States remains a global leader in this technological revolution, we must provide our Nation's youth with opportunities to cultivate the skills and understanding necessary to use and create the next generation of AI technology. By fostering AI competency, we will equip our students with the foundational knowledge and skills necessary to adapt to and thrive in an increasingly digital society.' A high-level White House Task Force on AI education will be led by Michael Kratsios, director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy. The task force also consists of cabinet members and agency heads from the departments of education, labor, energy, agriculture and the National Science Foundation. Its role is to organize national AI education efforts. The order specifies that federal agencies will work with industry, academic researchers and nonprofits to create online materials that will help teach K–12 students the basics of AI literacy and critical thinking. A national contest will be used to promote and showcase student and educator AI successes, advancing technology and spurring cross-sector collaboration. Idaho, Washington, Montana and Wyoming all have something different to offer to the national conversation about AI education, and all have something to gain from the federal executive order. Each state has its challenges, but the opportunity is the same: Equip students to go from being tech consumers to tech creators in the AI-driven economy. By matching the national strategy, states throughout our region can make the most of this federal push in some very specific and important ways. Idaho can take advantage of federal dollars to boost its already strong STEM programs and give more rural educators AI teaching tools. Washington has an opportunity to turn its tech-sector supremacy into in-classroom success, establishing more effective collaboration between industry and public education through partnership, apprenticeship and early career pipelines. Montana, with AI integration, can empower its distance learning architecture and level the playing field so rural students have access to the same advanced tools that urban students do. Wyoming has the opportunity to integrate AI literacy throughout its expanding career and technical education pathways, which have the potential to not only prepare students for college but also high-skill, high-wage jobs in an ever-changing workforce. The executive order on AI education acknowledges the need to get the next generation ready for a future where AI is central. The Mountain States region could extract great value by supporting the effort and ensuring that its youth are not only technology consumers, but also technology creators and leaders in the AI-fueled world. Sebastian Griffin is the lead researcher for the Junkermier Center for Technology and Innovation at Mountain States Policy Center, an independent research organization based in Idaho, Montana, eastern Washington and Wyoming.

Enago Launches DocuMark: A Breakthrough Tool that Redefines How Universities Address AI-Assisted Student Work
The new platform relieves faculty from detection burden while empowering students to take ownership of AI contributions. NEWARK, NJ, UNITED STATES, May 20, 2025 / / -- Enago, a leader in publishing and educational technology solutions, today announced the launch of DocuMark, developed by Trinka AI. a groundbreaking platform designed to transform how academic institutions address AI-assisted student submissions. DocuMark shifts the focus from detection to transparency, allowing students to verify and take ownership of AI contributions in their work, while providing educators with valuable insights into the student writing process and alleviating their stress. This enables them to refocus on fostering meaningful learning outcomes instead of policing AI misuse. As AI writing tools become increasingly sophisticated and accessible, educational institutions face significant challenges in maintaining academic integrity. DocuMark addresses these challenges by creating a transparent environment where universities can enable students to ethically incorporate AI tools into their learning journey while upholding their academic standards. 'DocuMark represents a paradigm shift in how we approach AI in education,' said Sharad Mittal, Founder and CEO of Trinka AI. 'We designed DocuMark not as another policing tool, but as a supportive platform that relieves teacher stress by restoring clarity and trust in the classroom. Infact, one educator from our pilot phase said, 'My stress is gone! DocuMark brings back the pre-ChatGPT clarity while embracing today's technology.'' He further added, 'At the same time, DocuMark guides students to use AI responsibly, encouraging them to take ownership of their work. Our vision is to create an environment where AI enhances learning rather than undermines it. By fostering transparency and responsibility, we're helping institutions navigate one of the most profound transformations in educational history.' How does DocuMark benefit the students, educators, and the institutions: DocuMark guides students to review and take full ownership of AI-assisted content before submission, providing faculty with verified submission reports that eliminate doubts about student effort. This innovative approach frees educators from the stress of detecting AI-generated content, allowing them to focus on what matters most: fostering learning and growth. The platform ensures that student writing follows institutional guidelines on academic integrity and AI usage, maintaining consistency and fairness across all submissions. For students, DocuMark serves as both guide and safeguard. The system helps learners reflect on their use of AI tools, clarify their actions, and adjust any improper usage. This process builds confidence and ensures students understand the boundaries of appropriate AI assistance. 'I was using AI incorrectly until DocuMark guided me. Now I'm confident submitting my assignments without fear,' reported a student participant in the platform's beta testing program. Educators experience significant relief from the burden of verifying AI-generated content. DocuMark restores clarity to the assessment process while embracing current technology. 'Finally, I can focus on teaching instead of playing detective. DocuMark has restored trust in my classroom.' said a professor from the same beta testing program. Administrative benefits extend beyond basic compliance. DocuMark provides clear data and insights that help institutions reinforce and refine their policies on academic integrity and AI usage. This data can help institutions craft better AI policies and ensure that students are learning responsibly in the digital age. The platform seamlessly integrates within existing LMS systems and is available immediately for institutional adoption. Trinka AI is also offering a pilot program for universities interested in exploring how DocuMark can transform their approach to academic integrity. This opportunity allows institutions to experience first-hand how the platform can reduce faculty stress, enhance student learning, and maintain academic standards in the age of AI.

Manlius Pebble Hill students dive into AI innovation
Manlius, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) – Students at Manlius Pebble Hill School are getting a head start in a subject most high schoolers don't even touch: artificial intelligence. For senior Andy Wladis, the opportunity to dive into AI was too good to pass up. 'I emailed my guidance counselor. I emailed the head of the school and said, 'I have a huge passion for this. I would love to take these classes,'' Wladis said. 'It was one of the best decisions I've made at MPH.' Dr. Gus Lott teaches the AI elective. He says the class is about exploration as much as instruction. He encourages students to experiment with AI tools in a hands-on environment unique from other schools in Upstate New York. 'Other teachers, reasonably, say, 'Don't use AI in this class—we want you to do the work,'' Lott explained. 'But in my class, it's like, 'Use AI. What's it like to use a speech writer to do the writing for you?' It's not about cutting corners, it's about understanding the tool and using it responsibly. Students are expected to be transparent when using AI, and many teachers at MPH support that approach. 'If you want to use it to outline, that's completely fine,' Wladis said. 'You just have to tell them that you're using it so it's very clear. Our teachers are open to innovation.' Dr. Lott compares AI to a modern research assistant or Google Scholar, saying it provides students with a lot of information; he said, 'It's kind of a new version of a Google Scholar search, or a librarian, or a research assistant.' For students like Wladis, the course isn't just an elective—it's a launchpad. He's heading to Arizona State University in the fall to study computer science, and says MPH played a key role in preparing him. 'I think MPH has really helped me develop my skill set, both academically and socially,' he said. 'I'm really thankful for MPH, and I'm really thankful for the future.' With AI continuing to shape the world, these students aren't just learning how to use it—they're getting ready to lead the way. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
