Project carriers: The UN body, UNESCO, is supporting the learning project for practitioners and professionals in the policy and education communities. In doing so, the organisation hopes to establish itself as a leader in the field of AI in education. The project will be implemented within the framework of the Beijing Consensus on AI and Education, a consensus in which representatives of Member States, international organisations, academic institutions, civil society and the private sector participate.

Beneficiaries: It is aimed at curriculum developers, teachers in each country, and therefore directly at children who will be able to learn about AI, and be offered learning opportunities on the subject.

Users: The users of this project are therefore limited to curriculum developers and teachers who will then pass it on to their students.

Need: The project meets a need for information about AI, which is still unknown and yet is becoming more and more present in our world. It also meets a need for empowerment.

Principle: The project consists of the establishment of a group of experts in the fields of AI and education appointed by UNESCO to develop an AI competency framework for primary schools. Subsequently, a centralised online repository will be set up for UN member states that are considering how best to teach AI.

Main technologies involved: The technologies used to implement this project include an internet platform set up in partnership with the Swedish telecommunications company Ericsson, but also a partnership with Microsoft, the Weidong Group, and the TAL Education Group to enable children to integrate AI technologies.
