How can we train more people in cybersecurity?

Middle-school and high-schools should introduce cybersecurity courses as a pathway to an attainable middle-class career, and ensure that students from across the socioeconomic spectrum have the same degree of opportunity and access to pursue cybersecurity learning before college. Schools should also celebrate diverse cybersecurity professionals to proactively address the perception that only certain people can work in the field of cybersecurity.

How is AI improving the experience of students with different learning needs?

When many students share a particular learning need, AI can learn from them.. For instance, Autistic children tend to learn better with simple repeated steps, like a recipe to follow. They write better when they are prompted to apply more pressure to their pencil. AI will learn these types of best practices and also help us measure other types of sensory skills. AI can be used to measure eye tracking to see what students are focusing on and for how long. This will help educators learn the best ways to present information and help them retain it.
