We are currently preparing students for jobs that don’t yet exist, using technologies that haven’t yet been invented to solve problems we don’t even know are problems yet. The potential role of artificial intelligence (AI) is something of a new frontier. However, one thing is clear. To be future-ready, every high school student should have an appreciation of how AI is reshaping the economy and the career landscape. They should have the opportunity to explore the core dimensions of key AI technologies and use smart tools to solve real-life issues and challenges that they care about. And, if they are interested in a career in AI and data science, then they should have pathways that lead to college.
