While AI-powered large-language models are already transforming higher education, many K-12 educators are still grappling to understand the role this new technology might play in the classroom. Concerns that the technology will weaken students’ critical thinking skills and encourage them to cheat have led some K-12 school districts to restrict or ban the use of AI.

CTY is grateful for the supporters who helped us enhance the education of students around the world this year. Donors, alumni, friends, staff, and volunteers all played a significant role in advancing our mission of identifying advanced learners and supporting their academic growth.
