Teachers need help with AI. A union is offering training – with $23m in funding from big tech

The American Federation of Teachers launched the National Academy for AI Instruction to train 400,000 educators over five years on AI's classroom use, funded by $23 million from Microsoft, OpenAI, and Anthropic. This initiative aims to help teachers understand AI's benefits and risks amid widespread student AI use and limited school guidance, though some critics worry about big tech's influence on education.
