## Elevating Our Uniquely Human Skills for Success in an AI World
As generative AI creates new complications, questions, and opportunities across society, education practices will also have to evolve. Today’s students are growing up in a world where artificial intelligence can instantly write essays, solve math problems, and summarize books.
But while AI can automate tasks, it can't understand context, which leads to hallucinations—misleading results that take time to fact-check. Simply put, AI cannot replace a student’s drive to grow, learn, and be creative.
Comprehensive tools like Wayfinder make it possible to collaborate with new technologies like AI, while deepening students' human skills like Agency, Empathy, Self-Awareness, and Purpose.
Learn more about Wayfinder’s approach to teaching AI literacy and discover what school and district leaders can do today to future-proof tomorrow’s graduates in our new white paper—**Portrait of a Future-Ready Graduate: Why Human Skills Matter More Than Ever.**

## AI Literacy in K-12 Education
What is AI Literacy in K-12 Education?
**AI Literacy** means understanding how artificial intelligence works, how it’s used, and how it affects our world. It includes knowing how to use AI tools, think critically about them, and recognize their impact on daily life.
For today’s K–12 students, AI literacy and digital discernment skills are essential. As AI shapes everything from social media to future careers, students need the skills to use technology responsibly, make informed choices, and thrive in a rapidly changing digital world.
AI Leadership + The Presidential Artificial Intelligence Challenge
On April 23, 2025, the [White House signed an executive order](https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/04/advancing-artificial-intelligence-education-for-american-youth/), Advancing Artificial Intelligence Education for American Youth, to advance the use of AI in K-12 schools. The main goals from the executive order include:
- Launching a task force on AI in education, bringing together leaders from various federal agencies.
- Engaging students, educators, and administrators in innovative uses of AI.
- Advancing AI-focused Registered Apprenticeship programs to build a skilled workforce.
This Executive Order aims to promote wide geographic adoption of technological advancement, and foster collaboration between government, academia, philanthropy, and industry to address national challenges with AI solutions.
School districts and state education agencies are expecting additional information on grants and professional development opportunities related to this Executive Order, with federal guidance expected to influence how these programs develop over time.
