In and political tensions between US and China, there is an area where Donald Trump and Xi Jinping share a common view: the need to prepare next generations for a future dominated by artificial intelligence.
Trump signed a decree to boost IA literacy in American schools. For the current US president, the future of the US economy is linked to the training of its young people to deal with emerging technologies that are shaping the global job market. AI is seen as a fundamental pillar of innovation and development, and training in artificial intelligence will be decisive for the success of the next generation of American professionals.
On the other side of the world, the Chinese government took equally bold measures. Beijing, with his long -term strategy, determined that AI teaching will be mandatory in schools in the country. China, which already stands out as a leader in various technological areas, seeks its global leadership in the artificial intelligence sector from the education of its future generations. The measure, in addition to ensuring the training of highly qualified professionals, further solidifies China’s position as a world power in technological innovation.

Teaching AI in schools is therefore more than one trend: it is a strategic movement of nations that are aware that the future has arrived and that education will be the key to determining who will lead the next chapter of the technological revolution. AI is no longer an exclusive field of experts or large technology companies, it has become an essential competence for any professional who wants to stand out in the global market.
This educational revolution goes far beyond the simple implementation of programming classes or AI concepts. It requires a reformulation of the school curriculum, where the emphasis is on preparing students not only to use existing technologies, but to innovate and adapt to a world in constant transformation. The goal is to create a generation of professionals who not only understand AI, but are also able to use this tool to solve complex problems and generate new solutions.

Whether in a classroom in the United States or at a school in Beijing, IA training will become one of the most demanded and valued skills by the global labor market. And for nations that do not prepare for this change, the disadvantage will be clear. We are not just talking about technology, but a new way of thinking, creating, innovating.
A long way ahead
Although Brazil has advanced in some areas of the technological sector, the challenges for the implementation of AI in schools are immense. Inequality in access to technology and the lack of adequate educational infrastructure are significant obstacles. While schools in large cities can have access to modern resources, many in rural or peripheral areas still face lack of equipment and connectivity, which limits the introduction of emerging technologies such as AI.

In addition, the Brazilian educational system still lacks a deep reformulation regarding the training of teachers. The training of educators in the use of technologies such as AI is an essential step, but this training requires investments in courses and professional development programs that are still far from widely accessible in the country.
Another factor that hinders the effective implementation of AI in Brazilian schools is the very rhythm of educational change in the country. The National Education System has a cast structure, with rigid curricula and a resistance to innovation that makes it difficult to adapt to the needs of a constant evolving job market. AI, to be effectively implemented, requires a curriculum flexibility that is still far from the reality of public and private schools in Brazil.
Still, we cannot ignore the transformative potential of this technology. If Brazil can overcome these challenges, IMA implementation in schools can open doors for a generation more prepared for the challenges of the future. But it is necessary to act quickly. The world will not wait. The AI revolution is underway, and it requires an educational system that not only follows the changes, but that anticipates them. Schools need to prepare students for this new reality, where IA knowledge will be one of the most valued skills in the global labor market.
