Building the Most
AI-Ready Economy
Across Indiana, organization and business leaders are using AI to increase productivity, strengthen competitiveness, and invest in their workforce.
What AI Means for Your Organization
AI is already being used to take work off people’s plates, automating routine tasks, improving operations, and helping teams make faster decisions.
The organizations seeing results aren’t using more technology. They’re using it more intentionally.
The opportunity isn’t to become an AI organization. It’s to use AI to run your organization better.
Powered by a statewide partner network,
IN AI brings together partners across technology, education, industry, government, and community organizations to accelerate AI adoption across Indiana.

AI IN ACTION
AI in Action Across Indiana
Recent announcements, partnerships, and milestones advancing AI adoption statewide.
TechPoint Youth Brings Hands-On AI Education to 6,000 Indiana Students
Summary: TechPoint Youth is launching an in-classroom AI and computer science initiative reaching approximately 6,000 students in grades 3–8 during the 2026–27 school year. Eighteen Indiana schools—including schools in Indianapolis Public Schools, MSD of Lawrence Township and South Bend—will use LEGO Education programs to teach coding, algorithms, AI literacy and science through hands-on learning.
Why it matters: Introducing AI and computational thinking before high school gives Indiana students an earlier foundation for a workforce in which digital skills are increasingly essential. The statewide reach also helps extend access beyond schools that already have robust computer science programs.
