China's schools use AI. Why don't ours?

Artificial intelligence isn't designed to replace humans, it's supposed to augment them and give them new tools. It's how the US will stay competitive with China -- through education.

This is where education plays a required role. America must bridge the growing skills gap by integrating AI education into our curriculum, from primary schools to universities. Teaching students how to use, develop and optimize AI tools is no longer optional; it is essential for their future success and for our nation's continued global leadership in most industries.  Carl Szabo is vice president and general counsel for NetChoice, and professor of internet law at the George Mason University's Antonin Scalia Law School. 

The demand for expertise in cybersecurity, AI and data science is booming while jobs in areas like telecommunications and basic IT are declining. This shift is driven by the increasing adoption of AI across industries, which are automating routine tasks and creating new opportunities that require more advanced skills.
