Why AI Education Matters
As Secretary of Education Linda McMahon stated: "By teaching about AI and foundational computer science while integrating AI technology responsibly, we can strengthen our schools and lay the foundation for a stronger, more competitive economy."
The Challenge
The world is changing rapidly. AI is transforming industries, creating new opportunities, and reshaping how we work and learn. Without proper AI education, students risk being left behind in an increasingly AI-driven economy.
The Opportunity
By investing in AI education today, we're preparing students to not only understand AI but to use it responsibly, think critically, and solve complex problems. We're building a foundation for economic competitiveness and ensuring every student has the tools they need to succeed.
Our Human-Centered Approach
We stand out by creating approaches and designing AI technology and solutions that remain human-centered, addressing the critical balance between AI advancement and human agency.
Striking the Balance
AI is here, and we're at a pivotal moment where we can advocate for policies and put AI to use as a tool for humansβnot as a sufficient replacement for humans. We believe in using AI as a superpower that enhances human capabilities rather than diminishing them.
Human-Centered Design
Our approach prioritizes human needs, values, and agency in every AI solution we develop. We design technology that empowers educators and students, ensuring AI serves as an enhancement to human intelligence and creativity, not a substitute.
Advocacy & Policy
We're at a good pace where we can advocate for policies that ensure AI is developed and deployed responsibly. Our work focuses on creating frameworks that protect human dignity, privacy, and autonomy while harnessing AI's transformative potential.
AI as a Superpower
We teach students and educators to view AI as a superpowerβa tool that amplifies human potential, creativity, and problem-solving abilities. By striking this balance, we ensure that technology serves humanity, not the other way around.
The Right Moment
We're at a unique moment in history where AI technology is advanced enough to be transformative, yet early enough that we can shape how it's integrated into education. This is our opportunity to establish human-centered principles from the start, ensuring AI enhances learning while preserving the irreplaceable value of human connection, creativity, and critical thinking.
The AI Education Fund ensures that students are prepared for the opportunities created by AI disruption rather than being left out, through a human-centered approach to the use of AI and approaches to learning.
