More than 250 CEOs in the United States jointly signed an open letter calling for AI and computer science to be included in the core curriculum of K-12 education

Recently, more than 250 CEOs of American companies jointly published an open letter in the New York Times, calling on all states in the United States to list artificial intelligence (AI) and computer science as core compulsory courses in K-12 (kindergarten to high school) education. The signatories include executives of technology and business giants such as Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, and Etsy CEO Josh Silverman. The letter emphasized that this move is the key to "maintaining the United States' global competitiveness" and warned that "the United States is falling behind, and countries such as China, Brazil, South Korea, and Singapore have set relevant courses as compulsory courses." The core appeal of the open letter: Cultivate "AI creators" rather than "consumers" The open letter opens directly to the shortcomings of the US education system: "In the era of artificial intelligence, we must prepare children for the future - to become creators of AI, not just consumers." The signatories believe that the basic knowledge of computer science and AI is an essential skill for students to "thrive in a technology-driven world."
