Over 250 CEOs, including leaders from major companies, signed an open letter advocating for AI and computer science to be integrated into K-12 education. They assert that such education is vital for maintaining the United States' competitive edge, highlighting that other countries have already implemented mandatory AI curricula. The letter coincides with the Trump administration's efforts to develop AI policy and comes amidst concerns over budget cuts that could impact foundational AI research, emphasizing the urgent need to prepare students as creators in the AI landscape.
Countries like Brazil, China, [South] Korea, and Singapore have already made computer science or AI mandatory for every student.
In the age of AI, we must prepare our children for the future - to be AI creators, not just consumers.
The United States is falling behind... computer science and AI education are essential to keeping America competitive.
The letter arrives as President Donald Trump's administration works to shape a new U.S. AI policy.
