AI Education

South Korea’s ambitious AI textbook program, launched with substantial government funding, has been largely rolled back after only four months due to numerous issues. Problems included inaccurate content, student data privacy concerns, increased burdens on educators and students, and technical glitches hindering learning. A rushed development timeline and potential political factors contributed to the failure, raising questions about the readiness and ethical implications of AI in education. The initiative, intended to revolutionize learning, serves as a cautionary tale about the complexities of integrating technology into education.

Micron Technology is investing $200 billion in US semiconductor manufacturing and R&D, creating 90,000 jobs. As part of the White House initiative, Micron commits to empowering 40,000 learners and educators in AI through educational programs, mentorship, and resources. This supports advancing AI education to address a skills gap. Micron, the only US memory manufacturer, is strategically positioned in the AI revolution.
