Free AI education initiatives

Entities: Santo Tomás Iquique · UNESCO · National Directorate of Training and Identity · Universidad Nacional del Nordeste · LG AI Research

Overview

In early July 2026, Moldova’s Ministry of Education announced a free artificial‑intelligence course aimed at its students, marking a national effort to introduce AI learning at the school level.

A few weeks later, UNESCO partnered with Latin American institutions and LG AI Research to launch a free, worldwide AI ethics course on Coursera. The program, unveiled on 20 July, targets technologists, policymakers, students and professionals. Regional roll‑outs followed: in Chile, teachers and academic leaders earned certification in professional ethics, while Argentina introduced a fully online diploma in learning ecosystems with AI. The progression shows a shift from a single‑country pilot to a coordinated international rollout of free AI‑focused education.

Overall, the period reflects expanding collaboration among governments, intergovernmental bodies and private partners to provide accessible AI training across diverse regions.
