Sixty percent of US students are already using AI tools on a regular basis. To help K12 school leaders understand how to leverage #AI technology in practical and responsible ways, #AWS has partnered with schools and councils in US to create the K12 Readiness Checklist, including guidelines and tools for using AI in education. India too is making significant progress in this area. In my recent interactions with high school students, 5 out of 5 are utilizing GenAI with some impressive prompting skills. However, it is crucial for schools to strike a balance and establish appropriate boundaries to prevent misuse and excessive reliance on #GenAI. Read more to learn seven ways that #AI can transform K12.

--Ask Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella about his approach to innovation, and he tends to reminisce. He’ll name-check Skype Translator, the real-time language-translation tool he unveiled soon after being tapped to run Microsoft in 2014—a crucial early sign of his commitment to AI leadership, as he sees it. Or he’ll turn way back to what it was like to join the company in 1992, as computer networks were just taking off—still one of the industry’s most epoch-shifting moments. In other words, according to Nadella, what seem to be inflection points are usually the result of years of patient investment. “You can’t say, ‘Oh, ChatGPT just launched—it’s time to take [AI] seriously,’ ” he says. “That’s too late.” But his remarkable run at the software behemoth, which has seen its market cap go up more than tenfold in his time as CEO, reflects his ability to focus on new possibilities rather than past glories. Instead of relying solely on Microsoft’s own long-standing AI research efforts, he made a prescient investment in OpenAI in 2019, getting first dibs on the same groundbreaking technology that powers ChatGPT. This year, he forged a deal with French AI startup Mistral AI, a rising competitor to OpenAI and Google known for its open-source AI. He also pulled off a hiring coup when Google DeepMind cofounder Mustafa Suleyman agreed to head a new Microsoft consumer AI group.-- https://lnkd.in/guFE6P6v

IBM has long been committed to responsible #AI development — IBM’s Granite foundation models were recently recognized as some of the most transparent in the world. As business begin adopting AI across a greater breadth of use cases, we need to find more efficient ways to ensure that the data used to train and test these models stay aligned with high standards for trust and transparency.  That's why IBM joined with others in the Data & Trust Alliance to help co-create and test new Data Provenance Standards, the first cross-industry standards for metadata to describe where data comes from, how it was created, and its suitability for the intended purpose. In the following case study and blog, I outline how these new standards enable organizations like IBM to create and use AI with greater confidence and less overall risk, and ultimately develop more trustworthy AI systems.       Learn more about how this work will help organizations be responsible stewards of technology:  https://lnkd.in/eMAp8z5M Jon Iwata Rob Thomas Lee Cox Saira Jesani Ed Lovely Joanne Wright
