Touretzky\, Research Professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Me llon University\nFounder and Chair of the AI4K12 Initiative\n\nAbstract - Children today are growing up with artificial intelligence. By the time th ey reach kindergarten\, they've likely been conversing with Alexa for year s. It's vital that students become AI literate as our society begins to wr estle with the significant social and ethical challenges AI technology is raising. Equity considerations also argue for universal AI education\, so that AI-related career opportunities are accessible to all students\, and so that the population of AI developers is as diverse as society itself.\n \nThe AI4K12 Initiative\, a joint project of the Association for the Advan cement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) and the Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA)\, with funding from the National Science Foundation\, is developing national guidelines for what every K-12 student should know about AI\, and what they should be able to do. The initiative has released a list of "Five Big Ideas in Artificial Intelligence" that will serve as the organizing framework for the guidelines. New tools and new curricula\, developed by multiple groups around the world\, are making AI concepts ac cessible even to very young students. This talk will survey the current st ate of AI education in K-12 and discuss what computing professionals can d o to help advance this cause.\n\nDavid S. Touretzky is a Research Professo r of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University\, and the founder and chair of the AI4K12 Initiative. Dr. Touretzky received his B.A. in Compute r Science from Rutgers University in 1978\, and his Ph.D. in Computer Scie nce from Carnegie Mellon in 1984. Dr. Touretzky's current research interes ts are in computing education for K-12 and the development of intelligent robot programming frameworks for K-12 and undergraduate students.
