In a landmark move, South Korea has announced that AI ethics and digital responsibility will become mandatory subjects in all high schools starting next academic year. The curriculum will focus on algorithmic bias, data privacy, and responsible tech use.
Education Minister Lee Ju-ho said the aim is to prepare youth for a future where artificial intelligence plays a central role in both professional and personal life. Teachers are being trained across Seoul and Busan to implement the modules.
With India, Bangladesh, and Bhutan also ramping up digital literacy in schools, Seoul’s policy could act as a framework for balanced tech education in South Asia.
