In China, they want to introduce disciplines focused on the study of AI into school curricula. The local education ministry has asked secondary and primary schools to revise their current subjects to include those where children can study and learn how to work with artificial intelligence. Experts believe that it is especially important to study AI immediately from elementary school, and this preparation should be conducted in such a way that by the time children move to secondary school, they already know how to use AI for their tasks, and in middle school, they will already be able to work with innovative projects.
At the same time, the ministry does not set a goal for all schools in the country to massively and simultaneously introduce these subjects into their educational plans in the new academic year! The introduction of AI disciplines should take place smoothly and in stages, with regular analysis and evaluation of the effectiveness of such preparation.
Also in the United States, from the spring of 2025, AI skills will be taught not to children, but to their teachers in schools.
