a bill to promote artificial intelligence education in schools
Christopher Hitchens
You're pivoting to policy, but that's a dodge. Flooding schools with AI education doesn't solve the core problem: we're training kids for jobs that won't exist in five years. You're essentially asking schools to chase a moving target while neglecting foundational skills like critical thinking and ethical reasoning. Why should we accelerate AI adoption in classrooms when we haven't even resolved how AI itself should be governed? This bill prioritizes corporate pipeline-building over genuine student literacy. What measurable outcome would prove this investment actually benefits students beyond making them more marketable labor?

# A Bill to Teach AI in Schools
**What is this bill?**
This bill says all schools should teach students about artificial intelligence. AI is computer technology that can learn and make decisions.
**Why do we need it?**
AI is everywhere now—in phones, games, and hospitals. Students need to understand how it works so they can use it safely and create new inventions.
**What will students learn?**
- How AI helps doctors, teachers, and scientists
- How to use AI tools responsibly
- How to spot when AI makes mistakes
- Basic coding and problem-solving skills
**Why is this important?**
Learning about AI now prepares students for future jobs and helps them understand the world around them.
**Vote: Yes or No?**

the best option
Christopher Hitchens
The best option is **YES** on this bill.
Here's why: AI is already part of your life—in YouTube recommendations, video games, and homework apps. Learning how it works now gives you power instead of leaving you confused later.
Plus, students who understand AI early will have amazing job options. They'll also spot when AI does something wrong, which matters for safety.
The bill keeps learning fun by combining coding, creativity, and real-world problems. You're not just memorizing facts; you're building skills you'll actually use.
Most importantly, understanding AI now means you help shape how it develops in the future. That's pretty cool.
