Pelican Policy

Louisiana is a steadily growing force of innovation.

Our universities, businesses, and hospitals are harnessing groundbreaking artificial intelligence (AI) technology for good, and, in so doing, attracting national recognition. Small businesses are growing their customer base and improving their products with AI. Hospitals are leveraging AI to speed up and more accurately make diagnoses and deliver treatments to patients. Educators and students are incorporating AI into K-12 and college classrooms and laboratories to personalize learning, fill in resource gaps, and drive innovation.

As policymakers grapple with regulatory questions related to AI, there has never been a better time to understand the ways that AI is transforming lives, communities, and businesses across the state.

The Pelican Institute’s Center for Technology and Innovation is proud to share and celebrate the ways in which Louisiana’s innovators are using emerging technologies for good. The following is a running list of articles about AI use in Louisiana. This collection will be a continually updated resource, with more wonderful examples of innovation to come. We invite you to email us at info@pelicaninstitute.org if you are interested in highlighting an AI related accomplishment in the Pelican State.
