SGR 13: Student Government Resolution
Status: In progress.
To get this out of the way, Artificial Intelligence is any machine that autonomously performs a task that normally requires near-human intelligence. While some would say that AI is an outdated term, especially within computer science circles, unfortunately that is what people know, so therefore to meet folks where they’re at we need to use terminology they are familiar with.
This bill specifically will be talking about a specific kind of generative artificial intelligence (AI that creates something “new”), called Large Language Models. “LLMs” like ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and Claude are what we commonly think of when AI is brought up.
During the Fall 2025 semester, I authored SGR 13, a student government resolution addressing AI education at LSU. This legislation aims to provide students with foundational understanding of AI technology and its role in the modern workplace.

We can all see that Artificial intelligence is transforming how we work, learn, and interact with technology. However, many students lack the foundational knowledge needed to use AI effectively and responsibly. I wrote this resolution because I believe AI literacy is essential for students entering the job market.
The inspiration came from recognizing a gap between AI’s rapid advancement and students’ understanding of it. While AI can be incredibly useful (it helped me build this website, organize files, learn programming, and develop as a thinker), there’s a lot of “hype mongering” that makes it hard for students to separate substance from speculation.
Too often, students either fall for the hype around AGI and superintelligence, or they use AI in risky ways (like employees who get fired for putting confidential documents into ChatGPT). This kind of ignorance can be addressed through proper education.
I was featured in The Advocate’s article discussing LSU students’ push for AI education, and Dr. Ghawaly mentioned “hype mongering”. I absolutely agree that some students and student groups take part in AI hype mongering, and that is happening in industry at large as well, even here in Baton Rouge! This is why I want students to be able to think critically about the subject of AI in a graded setting.
