💰 $100 Million for AI Literacy. Tech Giants Bet Big on Education + HolonIQ AI 300
AI literacy efforts boosted with a $100M commitment from Adobe, as artificial intelligence is added to curriculum around the globe. Publishers and universities build new products and models to keep up with changing markets.
Hi 👋
Adobe’s recent $100M commitment to support AI literacy by 2030 highlights the growing momentum around AI education. This initiative aims to equip 30 million next-generation learners with essential AI skills, emphasizing the private sector’s pivotal role in driving this shift. Across the Atlantic, Google has launched Experience AI and AI Literacy in the Classroom in Ireland, impacting 14,000 students through partnerships with the Raspberry Pi Foundation and Google DeepMind. Governments are making strides as well, with Germany advancing policy frameworks to integrate AI into schools through updated legal guidelines and California enacting new legislation to include AI literacy in school curricula. These developments reflect a broader alignment between public and private sectors in embedding AI into formal education. Expect ongoing expansion of these programs, potentially reshaping curricula and aligning student readiness with the demands of a tech-driven workforce.
