According to Tom Vander Ark, one of MSA’s AI Advisory Team members, “The first implication for education in 2025 is that AI literacy and fluency in AI-powered problem-solving should be a new graduation requirement.” (source: “New in 2025 and What Edleaders Should Do About It”). The “Bipartisan AI Task Force Report: Implications for PK-12 and Higher Education” has recommended that K12 schools promote AI literacy as a core skill: “The task force recognizes that AI literacy—similar to digital literacy—should be a fundamental part of K-12 education. This goes beyond teaching technical skills to helping students understand both the capabilities and limitations of AI technologies. The report calls for federal and state support to integrate age-appropriate AI education across disciplines, ensuring students become informed consumers and responsible users of AI tools.” (Source: Whiteboard Advisors)
