More than 30,000 teachers can be trained on the use of artificial intelligence technology as part of a year -long experiment led by the US technology giant Microsoft and Australia by the future skill organization.

Australia’s plan to increase the use of AI comes after the Productivity Commission recommends that schools to use technology for both teachers and students, and after the AI adopt AI as one of the priorities for the year.
