OpenAI is partnering with the American Federation of Teachers to launch the National Academy for AI Instruction, aiming to train 400,000 K-12 teachers in the US over five years.
The initiative includes $10 million in funding and engineering support to establish training hubs and provide AI tools for educators, focusing on equity and accessibility in schools.
OpenAI CEO emphasizes the importance of educators in leading the AI education shift and ensuring AI enhances human teaching rather than replacing it.
OpenAI also announced the launch of OpenAI Academy India to train 1 million teachers in generative AI skills, partnering with the IndiaAI Mission for international expansion.
