  "account": "The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has launched a 20-hour AI module for students in classes 9 through 12. Developed in collaboration with IIT Madras and IIT Jodhpur, this activity-based module aims to educate students on AI and its ethical boundaries.\n\nThe module seeks to help students understand AI's workings, limitations, and responsible usage. It emphasizes critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving, and human judgement in learning. Through discussions, practical exercises, experimentation, and reflection, students will learn about AI applications, data privacy, misinformation, fairness, digital safety, and critical evaluation of AI-generated information.\n\nNot requiring prior knowledge of AI, the module promotes meaningful participation across diverse school settings, using activity-based learning through various activities. These can be conducted with or without digital devices. The module reinforces that human judgement, creativity, and ethical responsibility remain central to learning.",
