The AI Lab

Michigan Virtual’s Learning and Research Institute has been tracking the progression of AI for years and now we’re supporting schools in this inevitable technology.

Like the internet in the 1990’s, or the iPhone in the early 2000’s, artificial intelligence is likely the most disruptive technology we’ve seen in modern times. AI presents a historic potential to transform the educational experience for educators and students. However, the successful implementation of AI will require careful planning and thoughtful consideration of various aspects.  The Michigan Virtual AI Lab will provide resources to support you in your exploration of how AI will touch your educational community.

AI is here. We are here to help you become ready.
