Currently, over 19,000 AI-related jobs exist in Oklahoma, with a median salary of $106,000, and this number is expected to grow by 21% over the next decade. The initiative, backed by Governor Kevin Stitt and the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, seeks to prepare students for careers in machine learning, data science, robotics, and AI ethics, ensuring that Oklahoma remains competitive in this rapidly evolving field.
