SGR 13: Student Government Resolution
Status: In progress.
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 artificial intelligence technology and its role in the modern workplace.
The Bill
Background
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.

Goals
The resolution seeks to:
- Provide students with foundational understanding of AI technology
- Help students understand AI’s actual capabilities vs. theoretical speculation
- Teach responsible and effective AI use in professional contexts
- Prepare students for an AI-integrated job market
- Cut through the hype to give students practical knowledge
Current Status
Currently implementing the initiative proposed in this legislation.
Impact
This resolution aims to ensure LSU students graduate with the AI literacy needed to thrive in modern workplaces. Understanding this transformative technology isn’t optional; it’s essential for being a functioning adult in the 21st century job market.
