In pipeline: Artificial Intelligence in all subjects at CBSE schools

After introducing Artificial Intelligence (AI) as an optional skill subject in its schools, the CBSE is now pushing to integrate it with other subjects across all classes. It plans to begin training teachers to this end in the coming months. AI was introduced as an optional skill subject for class IX in the beginning of this year, with the curriculum introducing students to the three domains of AI -- data, computer vision and natural language processing. "…AI is a cognitive science which can be linked to various subjects that concern themselves with cognition and reasoning. Almost every school subject would fall in this domain… It is therefore mandated by the CBSE that all its schools would begin to integrate AI with other disciplines from classes I-XII," read a handbook prepared by the board.
