人工智能应用的坚实基础与安全起点：OpenAI青少年人工智能素养蓝图

November 2025 At OpenAI, we believe that AI is a revolutionary technology that can unlock human potential andshape the future. AI will scale human ingenuity itself and will drive unprecedented productivity,economic growth, and new freedoms that we can’t even imagine today. Today’s teens—the first To fully and safely realize AI’s benefits, teens need to become AI literate—through education thatequips parents and teachers to guide responsible use, and equips students to critically interpret AIoutputs, deploy AI effectively, and mitigate risks. Educators should lead in how schools preparestudents for an AI-enabled workplace, where they can use AI to contribute to future shared Parents should also feel confident that their teens are protected from potential harms. That’s whyOpenAI is building strong protections for teens ages 13–17 by combining default safeguards with But safeguards alone are not enough. Our vision for AI literacy is one in which teachers, families,and communities—supported by robust infrastructure—prepare teens to use AI responsibly andproductively. Education takes deeper hold when it is connected to trusted institutions, technicalcapacity, and opportunities to learn by doing. AI also will continue to advance, so building and OpenAI envisions a future where every teen learns to use AI safely, critically, and creatively from thebeginning. To achieve this, we urge educators, parents, communities, and AI companies to work ●Empower teachers to lead.Support educators with the training, time, and tools to guidethe use of AI within the classroom and deploy AI safely, responsibly, and confidently. AtOpenAI, we believe teachers are at the center of AI literacy—AI will never replace them.●Strengthen core knowledge.Preserve and expand rigorous instruction in history, civics, ●Connect communities of lifelong learners.Make schools, libraries, and civic organizationshubs for peer-to-peer AI exploration, mentorship, and hands-on learning that reinforcesclassroom instruction and guides students as they experiment with AI.●Modernize infrastructure and guardrails.Build clear policies, open educational resources, In this future, teachers are assisted by world-class AI tutors, students have AI-enabled supportoutsideschool, and public libraries serve as gateways to cutting-edge skills. Guidelines and Empower Teachers to Lead We believe teachers are irreplaceable, and that teachers should lead the implementation and paceof deployment of AI in the classroom. Classroom instruction is strongest when teachers have thetraining, time, and tools to assess how best to deploy AI within their classrooms. Early use shouldfocus on reducing administrative burdens so that teachers can have maximum time with students. Have teachers set the pace.Teachers should determine how and when to use AI in and aroundtheir classrooms. Early use, for example, could start outside the classroom—using AI to streamlinelesson planning, generate materials, and reduce administrative workload. Using AI to free up timecan help create time and space for teachers to reconnect with students, offer more engaging andpersonalized instruction, and gradually build expertise with the technology. Teachers could also IntegrateAI into teacher preparation.Teacher preparation and certification programs shouldsupport practical AI fluency, from using AI to create lesson plans to guidance on monitoring studentuse; identifying inappropriate tasks for automation; adapting exams to test students’ judgment, Protect teacher time.Teachers need dedicated time to learn about AI, revise lesson plans, anddesign new ones that incorporate AI concepts—not just nights and weekends. We should treat thistime as an investment in professional development and educational opportunity and seek outcreative solutions that expand teachers’ capacity to engage in these activities. For example, Create partnerships with AI companies.AI companies should offer their tools at a reduced cost toschools, removing cost pressures to deploy AI immediately and giving teachers space to learn, explore use cases, and build confidence before bringing AI into classrooms. For example, OpenAIlaunched a free version of ChatGPT for Teachers, and we are already working with school districts Investin professional learning partnerships.AI companies, teachers’ unions, and universitiesshould collaborate to create structured opportunities for educators to learn about AI—ideally fromothereducators. For example, OpenAI and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) havepartnered to explore responsible classroom use cases and create teacher-led guidance. “TeachAI Strengthen Core Knowledge AI literacy starts with strong fundamentals. Students need a deep grounding in history, ethics,civics, math, science, and literature to develop the critical thinking skills required to interrogate AIoutputs. AI can transform students’ relationship with knowledge—but it should not replace it. Byreinforcing core curricula a
