The department of education would be the necessary governing agency when it comes to Artificial Intelligence. The DOE is in charge of making policies for, assisting to and helping to better the education system. This agency helps the president follow through with policies regarding education and putting laws made by congress into practice, both at the federal and state level. I feel that after reviewing the DOE, I learned that they hold a very important position when it comes to education. Not only does this agency assist education, but it is also in charge of funding as well. Funding is a big part of the education system, especially higher education, and making sure students are properly funded is vital.

At the state level the TRAIGA act is one that also aligns with AI. This act watches over and mangees the development of AI systems that are being made. This is important because with Ai constantly evolving, it is good to have an act that regulates what's safe to use and what is not.
