- Some emerging patterns/learnings from the Bay Area this snapshot in time (February 2025):
- Leadership: Faculty engaged in AI learning and policy development, including at multiple colleges’ Librarians curating resources/on Senate AI task forces with other discipline faculty including many Distance Education/Instructional Design/ZTC/OER faculty and staff, as well as faculty from ICT/DM, Business, Comms, Engineering. In some cases AI discussion is led by student clubs and student journalism!
- Learning: Faculty and staff are not reinventing the wheel. Adapting from 2-year & 4-year early adopters in gathering teaching & learning, as well as policy resources, particularly those shared at the California Online Teaching conference.
- Language: Developmental pattern appears to be: syllabus based/existing academic integrity policy to AI policy. SJCC (syllabus), Foothill (draft) & West Valley “AI use range”, & DVC provide potential examples. SMCCCD mini conference is a PD model, robustly developed by their PD team, primarily BIPOC faculty and staff in the Distance Ed/Instructional Design teams.
- Lessons: Several colleges might need intentional and curated support with resources, while others can likely provide exemplars and/or peer to peer support, particularly important to support/resource multi-college districts and their College and District Senates.
- Really neat human-centered, inclusive resources shared by the colleges are linked, and in some cases 2-year college generated content
- Algorithmic Justice League
- ESL Meets AI: How We Can Make Our Lives Easier with ChatGPT authored byESL instructors from MiraCosta College

The Bay Area remains the system's AI density leader. The defining 2025–26 development is Laney College's Bay Area AI Center of Excellence (BAAICoE), launched in late 2025 as a regional hub serving all 28 Bay Area colleges, with industry partners including Intel, AWS, Google, and Jobs for the Future (JFF) through the regional consortium. Curriculum has surged: De Anza is launching an A.S. in Applied AI plus six stackable credentials (Fall 2026), Las Positas built a full faculty AI program (including a named AI & Academic Honesty Liaison and a 21-unit certificate), and College of San Mateo, Foothill, and West Valley added AI/ML coursework. Governance matured in parallel, with district AI communities of practice (SMCCCD) and academic-senate vetting structures now common.
