President Donald Trump has signed an executive order aimed at integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into the K-12 education system. The order, titled "Advancing artificial intelligence education for American youth," directs the Education and Labor Departments to foster AI training for students and collaborate with states to promote AI education. This initiative seeks to equip American students with the skills necessary to use and advance AI technology, ensuring the U.S. remains a global leader in this rapidly evolving field.
The executive order establishes a White House Task Force on AI Education, which will include Education Secretary Linda McMahon and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, and be chaired by Michael Kratsios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. This task force will be responsible for creating a "Presidential AI Challenge" to highlight and encourage AI use in classrooms. It will also work to establish public-private partnerships to provide resources for AI education in K-12 schools. Private sector AI companies like Elon Musk's xAI and OpenAI may be asked to participate, helping develop programs for schools.
Beyond the task force, Trump's order directs the Department of Education to prioritize AI-related teacher training grants and the National Science Foundation to prioritize research on AI in education. The Labor Department is also instructed to expand AI-related apprenticeships. According to a draft of the order, AI is described as "driving innovation across industries, enhancing productivity, and reshaping the way we live and work." The move underscores bipartisan concerns about integrating AI into teaching, with the goal of preparing students for a future increasingly shaped by AI technologies.
