Hawaii House Resolution urges the Department of Education to collaborate with teachers to develop an artificial intelligence literacy and usage curriculum for grades 6-12.

The World Economic Forum projects 80% net job growth for AI and machine learning specialists from 2025 to 2030, necessitating workforce preparation.

Curriculum development should draw from peer-reviewed literature, global AI literacy frameworks like AILit, and Hawaii-based AI curricula such as Kūlia Academy.

The resolution specifies the curriculum should foster transparent and ethical AI use, ensure equitable access across Hawaii, and include regular assessments to track student progress.

Copies of the resolution are to be transmitted to the Chairperson of the Board of Education and Superintendent of Education.
