The “Hidden” Curriculum in AI Education

AI education is a process that aims to build a set of competencies that will enable individuals to critically evaluate AI technologies and use them effectively and collaboratively. Future AI curricula should be designed with equity and ethics in mind, culturally sensitive, and centering on the communities impacted by emerging technologies. By assembling diverse, multidisciplinary teams, AI curricula can be designed to reflect the vast range of technological impacts on our lives.
