Trump Administration Considers Ai Integration Into K-12 Education

The Trump administration is considering an executive order to integrate artificial intelligence into K-12 education. A draft order, circulated to federal agencies, outlines plans to train students in AI and incorporate it into teaching. Federal agencies would partner with the private sector to develop relevant school programs. The draft order emphasizes the importance of AI in driving innovation across sectors. A White House task force on AI education, led by Michael Kratsios, would seek funding for AI programs. The Secretary of Education would prioritize grants for training teachers in AI use, including administrative tasks and teacher evaluation. The project also contemplates a “Presidential AI Challenge” and instructions to the Secretary of Labor to develop apprenticeships in AI-related occupations.
