The document focuses on educational program development, employer collaboration, and reporting requirements rather than risk mitigation.
This document primarily governs the Educational Services sector by establishing requirements for higher education institutions in Utah to develop deep technology programs.

The document does not directly govern specific AI lifecycle stages. Instead, it establishes an educational framework for training students in deep technology skills, including AI. The focus is on educational program development and workforce preparation rather than AI system development, deployment, or monitoring.
The document mentions artificial intelligence as one area of deep technology but does not define or distinguish between different types of AI systems, models, or technical specifications. It treats AI as an educational subject area rather than providing technical governance of AI systems.
