When students enter life and the workforce, there will be serious AI and waves of job replacement or, with knowledge, job security. Tech firms, manufacturing, medicine, and mobile marketing have invested in and launched AIs. There is no better time to introduce AI than now, while at its most accessible. Explore AI classroom introductions, integrations, and examples. AIs are not magic. They are buildable and explainable, and materials are online to help.
