Karnataka plans AI training in government schools from Class 6

Karnataka Chief Minister D K Shivakumar on Monday directed officials to explore extending Artificial Intelligence (AI) training in government schools to students from Class 6, as the state looks to expand technology-focused education with support from the IT department and private partners.

AI training has already been introduced for Class 9 students in government schools, and Shivakumar asked officials to examine ways to extend the programme to younger students, according to a statement from the Chief Minister’s Office.
