I think this article is mostly marketing for the National Academy for AI Instruction, "a five-year, $23 million partnership between the American Federation of Teachers and three of the largest AI developers - Anthropic, Microsoft, and OpenAI," but I also think it's an initiative worth noting. It's interesting to look at the article's use of language, for example, "We're in this race for teachers to get this knowledge" of more meaningful use of AI, said Randi Weingarten, the AFT president. "This will become the most disruptive technology in our time." And also, "A lot of teachers are doing this work at home, just wracking their brains." And also, "these tools, if gotten into the wrong hands, can be very dangerous for our students, for our profession, and for our jobs." And also, "there's still a lot of fear in the absence of federal guardrails on privacy, on safety, on disinformation, on academic freedom." This article is heavy heavy on the emotional language.
