AI Informed Education Policy

Welcome to the AI-Informed Education Policy (AIEP) Initiative at George Mason University!

At AIEP, we’re dedicated to leveraging the power of artificial intelligence (AI), advanced data analytics, and transdisciplinary research to drive positive change in education policy. As a collaboration between EdPolicyForward in the College of Education and Human Development and the Center for Advancing Human Machine Partnership (CAHMP), we’re at the forefront of bridging the gap between research and practice in education policymaking.

Our core team, comprising experts in education policy research, AI, and data analytics, works closely with local school divisions to translate research findings into actionable policy recommendations. Through our partnership with EdPolicyForward and CAHMP, we’re able to harness the collective expertise of Mason’s research and practice community to address the most pressing challenges in education.

Our mission is to bridge the gap between research and practice in education policymaking, ensuring that every decision is grounded in data-driven insights and geared towards enhancing student and teacher performance while promoting equity and fairness in resource allocation. As a collaborative effort between two esteemed centers at George Mason University—EdPolicyForward and the Center for Advancing Human Machine Partnership (CAHMP)—we’re dedicated to revolutionizing education policy through transdisciplinary research and innovative solutions. This partnership between EdPolicyForward and CAHMP exemplifies the transformative potential of combining expertise in education policy research, artificial intelligence, and advanced data analytics.

Led by a diverse team of experts including professors Sanmay Das, Anne Holton, Seth B. Hunter, David Houston, and Peng Warweg, we’re poised to make a lasting impact on education policy. Leveraging our collective knowledge and partnerships with local school divisions, we aim to empower policymakers with actionable insights, facilitating informed decision-making that benefits all students.
