Samsung says AI curriculum will reach 100,000 teachers through Solve for Tomorrow

Samsung’s commissioned research found that 95% of U.S. high school students have used AI, while only 16% say their schools provide classes on how to use it and 68% report no formal instruction. Twenty-six percent gave their teachers a D or F for AI capabilities. Students said 51% would be more interested if AI showed a meaningful difference, but 63% worry about over‑dependence and 56% fear losing critical‑thinking skills. Samsung executives and MIT Solve leaders stress that the program can give small businesses a pipeline of talent and opportunities to mentor or pose real‑world problems to student teams.
