Karnataka to Introduce AI Training from Class 6 in Government Schools
Karnataka Chief Minister D K Shivakumar has directed officials to introduce Artificial Intelligence (AI) training in government schools starting from Class 6, expanding the current program for Class 9 students. The initiative involves collaboration with the Information Technology department and private partners, including Google, which has shown interest based on its Telangana programs. The government is also planning to establish an AI university and recruit 956 teachers on an outsourcing basis. Additionally, students from urban schools will visit progressive farmers' fields with overnight stays arranged, and preparations continue for developing 1,000 Karnataka Public Schools with foundation stones to be laid by November 14.
