In a new report on the million dollar investme of technology gias Teacher training With the help of tools artificial ielligence It is meioned. Microsoft, OpenAI and eropic (created by Claude) is a company that works with major unions and aims to teach teachers how to use artificial ielligence in teaching.
This summer, the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) announced that it will launch a program for massive teacher training in the field of artificial ielligence in collaboration with Microsoft, OpenAI and Ahropic.
According to this agreeme, Microsoft over the next five years 12.5 million dollarsOpenAI 8 million dollars cash and 2 million dollars Technical resources, and Ahropic as well 500 thousand dollars dedicated to the implemeation of this project.
AFT preside Randy Weingarten says that despite initial misgivings, the reality is that “schools don’t have the financial resources to do this kind of training, and no one but big tech companies are willing to invest on this scale.”
With this collaboration, an “Artificial Ielligence Education Ceer” will be launched in New York, which will hold face-to-face and online courses for teachers. At a rece workshop, about 50 teachers were iroduced to tools like ChatGPT, Gemina and Copilot and learned how to use them to design curricula, produce digital stories or translate educational texts, AFT says.
The ultimate goal of this program is to train 400,000 teachers across America over the next 5 years.
The role of technology gias in the future of education and teaching with artificial ielligence
The cooperation of Silicon Valley gias is not only limited to AFT. NEA, which has a larger population, recely announced a partnership with Microsoft to offer AI training courses to its 3 million members. Microsoft also plans 4 billion dollars It has started to teach, research, and provide free Copilot tools to schools and colleges in Washington state.
Google Also with the promise of investme 1 billion dollars For training in the field of artificial ielligence, he is trying to get schools to Gemini Platform for Education connect
Although many teachers are excited about the new possibilities, there is concern that “will teachers eveually be replaced by artificial ielligence?” Critics warn that in these collaborations, educational ierests should be prioritized over corporate commercial ierests.
