Microsoft, OpenAI, and a US Teachers’ Union Are Hatching a Plan to ‘Bring AI into the Classroom’


The National Academy for AI Instruction will make artificial intelligence training accessible to educators across the country, according to leaked details.

Microsoft and OpenAI are planning to announce Tuesday that they are helping to launch an AI training center for members of the second-largest teachers’ union in the US, according to details about the initiative that appear to have been inadvertently published early on YouTube. The YouTube page also lists Anthropic, which develops the Claude chatbot, as a collaborator on what’s described as a $22.5 million initiative to bring free “AI training and curriculum” to teachers. The forthcoming training academy follows a partnership Microsoft struck in December 2023 to work with the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, or AFL-CIO, on developing and deploying AI systems.
