A consortium of tech companies and teachers' unions is launching the National Academy of AI Instruction to train 400,000 K-12 teachers in artificial intelligence. This $23 million initiative will create an AI training curriculum available online and at a physical campus in New York City. The program aims to help educators understand AI's integration in the classroom and address the challenges it presents. Schools have varied responses to AI use, reflecting ongoing debates about its benefits and risks for educational settings.
AI holds tremendous promise but huge challenges, and it's our job as educators to make sure AI serves our students and society, not the other way around.
The group says it will develop AI training curriculum for teachers that can be distributed online and at an in-person campus in New York City.
Some schools have prohibited the use of AI in classrooms, while others have embraced it, reflecting varied attitudes towards the technology's integration.
The new academy hopes to create a national model for how schools and teachers can integrate AI into their curriculum and teaching processes.
