The White House announced that major companies and organizations have committed to providing resources to advance artificial intelligence education among America’s youth.
“As AI reshapes how people learn, work, and communicate, the Trump Administration is committed to ensuring that Americans are equipped to lead the world in harnessing this technology,” Michael Kratsios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, said in a statement published Tuesday.
“Today we announce new steps in fulfilling this mission as we welcome leaders in business, non-profits, and education who are putting America’s future first and pledging to provide free AI training and resources to students, teachers, and parents across the country,” added Kratsios, chair of the White House Task Force on AI Education and a two-time Wash100 awardee.
White House Task Force on AI Education
The White House Task Force on AI Education was established in accordance with an executive order signed by President Donald Trump in April to advance AI education, provide workforce development opportunities for American youth and maintain U.S. dominance in AI technology.
The task force is establishing public-private partnerships to provide AI education resources among K-12 students.
