ABSTRACT

Can high schools truly prepare students for the AI-driven future?

This research paper explores the transformative potential of introducing AI education into high school curricula. This study, conducted through a comprehensive survey involving 100 high school students, provides an insight on students’ opinions and perceptions about AI education in their learning journey. The survey, inspired by the thought-provoking questions raised at the beginning of this research, delved into various aspects of AI education's potential impact. We reveal how AI-powered learning experiences enhance student engagement, improve academic outcomes, and foster critical thinking skills

The survey also sought to uncover their perspectives on how introducing AI might affect the education system as a whole, particularly focusing on whether it would have a positive or negative effect

Students highlighted a strong desire to gain AI-related skills, seeing them as valuable assets in the job market and beyond. The responses gathered from these high school students painted a vivid picture of their recognition of AI's growing importance .

By grounding our research in the views and opinions of these students, we present a holistic perspective on the significance of AI education in high schools. This insight contributes to a nuanced discussion on the potential benefits, challenges, and recommendations for the successful integration of AI education.
