OpenAI and CodeAI Launch Partnership to Support Youth AI Education
The two institutions announced a comprehensive partnership aimed at helping students understand artificial intelligence safely and responsibly.
OpenAI and CodeAI have announced a strategic partnership offering tools for students and educators to safely understand and use artificial intelligence.
The Gap Between AI and Education
While today's students are the first generation to grow up with artificial intelligence, a lack of technical knowledge in schools is notable. A large portion of students use AI while very few high school administrators provide technical training on the subject.
Launch of ChatGPT for Teens
This partnership coincides with the launch of ChatGPT for Teens, a specialized experience designed to foster critical thinking among youth. This version incorporates built-in safeguards for healthy use by teenagers.
Expert Evaluations
Dr. Allison Mishkin, Head of Child Development at OpenAI, stated that their goal is to enable students to ask better questions and use the tools responsibly. CodeAI CEO Karim Meghji highlighted the importance of providing a foundation to question the technology.
Practical Programs for the Coming Year
OpenAI and CodeAI will establish a joint child development-focused advisory council and provide foundational AI literacy to millions of students through the Hour of AI.
Competitions and In-Class Support
The Builders Challenge, which enables high schoolers to create with AI, will be implemented, and OpenAI experts will consult on the AI Foundations course.
Career Pathways and the Future
Through the Career Journeys program, students will connect with OpenAI researchers, engineers, and leaders, gaining easier access to AI careers.
