Anthropic Signs White House Pledge to America's Youth: Investing in AI Education (www.anthropic.com)

Anthropic has reinforced its commitment to AI education by signing the White House’s “Pledge to America’s Youth” and participating in the AI Education Taskforce event. The company announced three major initiatives aimed at expanding AI and cybersecurity learning nationwide: a $1 million investment in Carnegie Mellon’s PicoCTF cybersecurity program targeting underserved K-12 students, support for the Presidential AI Challenge encouraging student-led AI problem-solving in communities, and the development of a Creative Commons–licensed AI Fluency curriculum designed to help educators integrate AI into classrooms across all education levels. This curriculum is system-agnostic, ensuring equitable AI access regardless of school resources. Anthropic’s efforts build on its existing partnerships with educational platforms leveraging Claude, Anthropic’s AI assistant, which serves millions of students and educators. Examples include MagicSchool, Amira Learning, and Solve.ly, which use Claude to transform learning through personalized, AI-driven educational support. The company also supports AI-powered higher educational experiences, such as fully AI-integrated law curricula and university AI Builder Clubs that foster student innovation and real-world problem-solving. Research on AI’s classroom use informs Anthropic’s product development, ensuring tools like Learning Mode promote critical thinking and that curricula are aligned with actual educator needs. By collaborating with the government and industry, Anthropic seeks to equip the next generation of students and teachers with the skills to thrive in an AI-driven world, marking a significant step toward inclusive and practical AI education nationwide.
