Digital Promise, alongside core partners Learning Data Insights, DrivenData, Massive Data Institute at Georgetown University, and Catalyst @ Penn GSE, is pleased to announce the launch of the K-12 AI Infrastructure Program, a new multi-year initiative aiming to close the gap between scientific principles of teaching and learning and the promise of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI).

Over the next four years, the $26 million program will issue grants to develop openly-shared datasets, models, benchmarks, and other digital public goods to advance the accuracy and relevance of AI in education. These outputs will be openly licensed for free use to improve the use of artificial intelligence for teaching and learning.

“By funding the creation of public goods, we will accelerate the development of AI products that reflect the needs of all learners, the power of learning science principles, and the rigor of education-specific AI applications,” said Jeremy Roschelle, Executive Director of Digital Promise’s Center for Learning Sciences Research. “We invite the public to shape our work by providing a brief comment in response to our Request for Information.”
