President Donald Trump has introduced a new plan aimed at helping students across the United States learn about artificial intelligence (AI).
On April 23, President Trump signed an executive order that launches a national effort to prepare young people for jobs in the AI industry.
A new group, called the White House Task Force on AI Education, will lead the project. It will be managed by the head of the Office of Science and Technology Policy and will include the secretaries of Energy, Education, Labor, and Agriculture. David Sacks, who advises the White House on AI and cryptocurrency, will also be involved.

One key part of the plan is the launch of the Presidential AI Challenge. This contest is designed to showcase the work of students and teachers who use AI. It will also encourage schools, businesses, nonprofits, and government groups to work together to find ways AI can help solve real problems.
The executive order also gives new instructions to two major federal agencies. The Secretary of Education has been asked to prioritize AI-related programs when distributing teacher training grants. Additionally, the National Science Foundation has been directed to support research on how AI can be used in education.
However, there are still questions about how the plan will be carried out. In March, President Trump’s administration made cuts to the Department of Education’s budget. That has raised concerns about how much funding will be available to support these new goals.
Meanwhile, OpenAI is offering college students in the US and Canada free access to ChatGPT Plus. What did CEO Sam Altman say about it? Read the full story.
