This article from the Southern Regional Education Board highlights Tennessee State University’s ‘AI for ALL’ initiative, which focuses on expanding institutional capacity in artificial intelligence to meet state and workforce needs. Led by the SMART Innovation Technology Center, the program supports digital literacy and technology skills development across K–12, higher education, and adult learning. Strategies include the AI Fellows program for faculty and staff professional learning, as well as pilot projects to explore the use of AI tools and methods in teaching and research. The initiative also incorporates attention to equity and culturally responsive practices in the use of emerging technologies. By embedding AI across multiple levels of the educational pipeline, the program seeks to connect academic preparation with evolving workforce demands. Preparation faculty may find this resource useful for examining structured approaches to faculty development, curriculum design, and assessment frameworks related to AI in education.
