We’re excited to share that we are expanding our Experience AI programme across Latin America with the aim of training 24,000 educators and reaching 1.25 million students by 2028, thanks to generous funding of $4.6 million from Google.org.

Working with education partners across Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Mexico, Peru, and Uruguay, we will help young people develop a foundational understanding of AI technologies, their social and ethical implications, and the role that AI can play in their lives.

AI literacy across the globe

AI systems are part of everyday life in how we find information, work, and solve problems. We think that young people need more than access to AI tools: they need the knowledge, skills, and confidence to understand and create their own AI tools.

Experience AI, developed in partnership with Google DeepMind, is a free educational programme that helps teachers and students learn about artificial intelligence (AI). It introduces young people to how AI systems work and how they are used in everyday contexts through lessons, classroom resources, and hands-on activities. The resources give young people opportunities to think critically about the role of AI in society.

Through a global network of Experience AI partners, we have so far reached an estimated 2.9m young people and trained 30,000 educators. The programme’s resources are used in more than 180 countries and are available in 19 languages. In recognition of its impact, Experience AI was named a laureate of the 2025 UNESCO King Hamad Bin Isa Al-Khalifa Prize for the Use of ICT in Education.

Impact through partnerships

In Latin America, as in other parts of the Experience AI network, our focus will be on sustainable, locally led delivery through partner organisations. Using our established ‘train-the-trainer’ model, we will equip 24,000 educators with the skills and knowledge to use the Experience AI resources to confidently deliver AI literacy lessons. 

Our aim is to create a lasting impact for teachers and classrooms across the region and ensure that high-quality AI education is accessible to young people in a wide range of settings.

Supporting critical thinking

Experience AI is designed not only to build technical understanding, but also to help young people think critically about AI and its impacts.

Through the programme, students across Latin America will develop a foundational understanding of how AI works, while exploring key topics including how data is used in AI systems, how to identify AI-generated misinformation, and how to use generative AI tools responsibly. This will help them to understand the opportunities and challenges of AI, and to make informed decisions about how they use these technologies.

Looking ahead

As AI systems are being built into many aspects of today’s world, it’s essential that young people have the opportunity to understand, question, and build with these technologies.

With support from Google.org, we will expand access to high-quality AI education across Latin America through Experience AI, helping over a million young people develop the skills, knowledge, and confidence to navigate and shape a world where AI technologies are widely used.
