(The Hill) — President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday that aims to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into America’s classrooms.  

Although the exact text of the order has not been released, The Washington Post saw a pre-decisional draft that said the president wants students trained on how to use AI and for schools to partner with the private sector to implement the technology into school programs.  

The order would instruct Education Secretary Linda McMahon to prioritize federal funds for training teachers and administrators on how to use AI for their benefit as well as on how to incorporate it into all subjects.  

An AI education task force would be created to encourage federal agencies to partner with the private sector with the goal of teaching students “foundational AI literacy and critical thinking skills,” according to The Post.  

AI has taken classrooms by storm over the last couple of years, with both benefits and risks to educators and students.  

Schools have already begun partnering with organizations to teach educators and students how to use AI responsibly.  

Downsides to the technology include concerns of cheating and bullying, along with ethical worries.  

Trump also signed an executive order in January taking away some regulations from the AI industry and investing in AI data centers.
