Building the Case for AI (artificial intelligence) Education K-12

As spring arrives, so does the hope of new opportunities! And we believe that nothing is more opportunistic than educating young minds on artificial intelligence. Read more about the importance of AI education:

• AI Knowledge Is a Competitive Advantage
With the majority of U.S. organizations predicting AI will “substantially transform” their companies by 2023, the pressure is on to initiate AI education as early as possible. Currently 37% of organizations have deployed AI solutions—up 270 percent from four years ago! (Source: Deliotte) 

• We Have a National Strategy Built Around AI
Just a few months ago, the House passed the Artificial Intelligence National Strategy resolution that includes an education to-do list. The strategy focuses on workforce development, national security, research and development and ethics. (Source: EdWeek Market Brief)
