The Institute of AI Education was created to respond to the growing need for AI literacy in schools and communities, ensuring that every young person is equipped not just to use AI but to understand it, question it and help shape its future. Its objectives centre on building a national centre of excellence for AI education, based in the north, developing confident and critical learners and supporting teachers with the knowledge and practical tools they need to embed AI meaningfully across the curriculum. The Institute also aims to bridge cutting-edge research with classroom practice, promote ethical and inclusive approaches to technology and build a wider movement that brings together educators, parents, industry and policymakers to prepare children and communities for an increasingly AI-driven world.
