Tech Giants Fund AI Academy for Teachers

A new initiative is bringing artificial intelligence into classrooms across the United States. Anthropic, Microsoft, and OpenAI are funding the National Academy for AI Instruction, a $23 million project aimed at training educators on using AI technologies. The American Federation of Teachers is spearheading this effort, which will offer free virtual training to its 1.8 million members. The academy, set to launch this fall in Manhattan, plans to train 400,000 educators over five years.
