From the original article

Today’s students will be the first generation to grow up with AI as part of everyday life. For parents and educators, the question isn’t simply whether young people will use AI, but whether they will learn to critically evaluate its outputs, understand its limitations, and use it responsibly.

Right now, there’s a gap between use and understanding. The vast majority of students today are already using AI, while only 16% of high school leaders say⁠ all of their students are learning the technical knowledge to understand it in the classroom. Students see this gap too: in a survey⁠ by CodeAI, 75% of high school students say understanding AI will be more important for their futures than it is now.

Young people need to understand how AI works, think critically about its outputs, and develop the skills to shape its future with access to tools that prioritize their safety and development.

That’s why OpenAI and CodeAI are announcing a signature partnership to give students and educators access to tools and resources that will help them learn how to use and benefit from AI.

This partnership coincides with the launch of ChatGPT for Teens, a dedicated experience designed with learning at the center to help teens think critically, deepen understanding, and use AI with confidence. It includes built-in protections for teens, including features to promote healthy use and additional controls for parents. It also builds on our ChatGPT for Teachers⁠ work to
