Google has announced a $1 billion investment over three years to advance artificial intelligence (AI) education in the United States. This initiative includes providing free AI training and Google Career Certificates to college students through the Google AI for Education Accelerator, which already involves over 100 institutions. As part of the program, students will have access to advanced AI tools such as the Gemini 2.5 Pro and a new Guided Learning mode designed to enhance understanding and critical thinking skills. The commitment aims to support higher education institutions and nonprofit organizations by equipping students with AI skills amid increasing integration of AI in classrooms and concerns about job displacement. Additionally, California Governor Gavin Newsom has launched a statewide initiative, backed by major tech companies including Google, Adobe, IBM, and Microsoft, to introduce free AI education across public high schools, community colleges, and the California State University system. Meanwhile, some universities are investing in software to prevent unauthorized AI use in exams and term papers. The broader educational landscape is adapting to AI's growing role, with new courses, degrees, and certifications emerging to help students become AI literate and prepare for the evolving job market.
A national approach to artificial intelligence in the classroom would ensure students in smaller states and territories do not fall behind those in large, well-resourced jurisdictions that have become early adopters of generative AI tools and chatbots. Read more: https://t.co/gbuX2Lfk7x
