Impact analysis
A roughly $1 million NSF grant, running through 2028, pays students for county internships.
Bowie State students, workers displaced by AI, county employees seeking upskilling, and county government itself through funded interns.
Students could be harmed if staff mishandle personally identifiable information in AI tools off the district network — the risk officials and members flagged most.
