In a recent group discussion at the North Carolina Educational Service Enterprise Association (ESEA) meeting, we delved into the intersection of AI and secondary education. One participant 클래스ically raised a critical point, stating that “AI is the new regional fluency” in education. He argued that AI should be integrated into the secondary curriculum, equipping students with the tools they’ll need for future challenges beyond their educational journey. This statement struck a chord deeply in the room, as it mirrored my own experiences and aspirations. In high school, I had dedicated countless hours to subjects like metal shop, auto shop, wood shop, and home economics, mastering essential technical skills, and reflecting on their real-world applications. Yet, a moment of reflection highlighted a Quality-of-Living indicator I hadn’t considered before. I had thrived in these areas due to my strong computer literacy, but now, as I mentors younger professionals, I realize I wish I had invested in learning AI skills. This mini-introduction to AI education is not for the faint-hearted—its potential to transform everyday life is undeniable. AI’s impact on our daily lives is sudden, irreparable, and inextricably tied to the future. As we move forward, this conversation underscores the importance of prioritizing AI education in secondary schools. Secondary education serves as a foundation for success in this rapidly evolving world, where AI will continue to shape industries, influence empowerment, and redefine job markets. Yet, AI is not just a distant concern—it is a necessity. AI is already woven into our lives in ways we cannot yet perceive, from administrative tasks tohome shopping. The principles of machine learning and natural language processing underpin these technologies, principles that exist in all facets of our lives. Recognizing the critical role AI plays in shaping the future, it becomes imperative to address this issue head-on. Secondary educators must face the challenge of ensuring that students are not only well-versed in their current knowledge base but are also equipped to navigate a world increasingly dominated by digital tools. While computer literacy remains vital, so too must be a clone of that literacy—AI. Implementing AI training requires shifting perspectives and rescalming curricula around practical, hands-on learning rather than rote memorization. Curricula must prioritize the development of critical thinking and ethical reasoning, fostering students who are adept at questioning assumptions, analyzing information, and making informed decisions in an increasingly interconnected world. As AI becomes more integrated into these systems, so must our education. Santiago Angra, CEO of ESEA, a key society physician practicing in NC, shared in discussions with ESEA President Marilyn Swar in 2023, that the era of AI education is urgent. This promise continues to grow in recognition, but primary educators! The lack of urgency in discussing AI education underscores the need for secondary schools to prioritize it. Similar discussions at beginning of the session. Secondary educators! Supporting the next generation of AI-driven professionals requires more than just technical expertise. It demands curricular transformation and teacher training. Deeply willing secondary educators! The future 笔触，在大学教育系统中讨论的问题，市场参与者态度及其对教育的影响，AI教育在教育系统中的必要性、教师培训的重要性、实践性和非政治性，明确的结论似乎回到了2000字左右的篇幅。
