OpenAI, Microsoft, and Anthropic have collectively committed over $20 million to establish the National Academy for AI Instruction, a five-year initiative aimed at training educators across the United States to integrate artificial intelligence into classroom settings. This effort is being launched in partnership with the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), the second-largest U.S. teachers' union, which will lead the teacher training center. The initiative seeks to provide free AI training to educators nationwide, aiming to close technology gaps and create a national model for AI-integrated curricula. Meanwhile, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman revealed he has not yet spoken with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg since Meta poached several of OpenAI’s top engineers, including four high-ranking staff members, but anticipates a discussion at the upcoming Sun Valley conference. This talent competition highlights ongoing rivalry among leading AI firms, including Meta and Elon Musk’s xAI. Additionally, Meta has been leveraging AI models from competitors like Anthropic to enhance its engineering capabilities. The collaboration between major tech companies and educators reflects a growing push to embed AI technologies in education while navigating competitive tensions within the AI industry.
