Karnataka to introduce AI training in government schools from Class 6

Karnataka Chief Minister D K Shivakumar on Monday directed officials to explore means to introduce Artificial Intelligence (AI) training in government schools from Class 6, with support from the Information Technology department and private partners.

He issued these directions at a review meeting on the progress of his government's 100-day programmes, recruitments and priority



schemes.

"AI training has already started for Class 9 students in government schools. The officials were asked to work toward extending it to students from Class 6," Shivakumar said.

Google expressed interest in providing AI training in schools, and officials were asked to examine the company's initiatives in Telangana as part of this exercise, according to the CMO statement.
