OpenAI, Microsoft, and Anthropic—three of the biggest players in artificial intelligence have launched the nation’s first $23 million AI education initiative, aimed at equipping US educators with the tools and training needed to navigate the growing influence of AI in classrooms. Announced on Tuesday, the investment will fund the creation of the National Academy for AI Instruction (NAAI), a program designed to train 400,000 K–12 teachers over the next five years.
