US President Trump has signed an executive order establishing a comprehensive national initiative to advance AI education for American youth, aiming to ensure the United States maintains global leadership in AI. The order creates a White House Task Force on AI Education, chaired by the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, and directs federal agencies—including the Departments of Education and Labor and the National Science Foundation—to prioritise AI literacy, teacher training, and workforce development. Key measures include promoting AI courses and certification opportunities for high school students, incentivising AI-related apprenticeships, encouraging public-private partnerships to expand K-12 AI resources, and launching a Presidential AI Challenge to highlight student and educator achievements. The directive emphasises early exposure to AI concepts, professional development for educators, and lifelong learning opportunities, all designed to prepare students and workers for an AI-driven economy and to foster innovation and critical thinking across the nation.
