AI for America Releases New Campaign Video
The campaign’s second video focuses on AI and education, featuring Chegg’s Chief Academic Officer, Dr. Nina Huntemann
Washington, D.C. – AI for America, TechNet’s initiative to educate the public about how AI is being used to improve lives, grow our economy, and keep us safe, today released a new video to provide viewers with a closer look at how AI is transforming education.
The video, which was released today across AI for America’s social media channels, features Dr. Nina Huntemann, Chegg’s Chief Academic Officer, discussing how AI tools can support students in the classroom, enhance learning experiences, improve academic performance, and expand access to educational tools and resources.
“The need for innovative solutions in education has never been greater,” said TechNet President and CEO Linda Moore. “New technology, like artificial intelligence, can help students meet the challenges of the modern world and provide more young Americans with the means to succeed.”
“AI tools can enhance education by adapting to individual learning styles, providing constructive feedback, and helping students stay engaged and motivated,” said Moore. “It can also help reduce administrative burdens on teachers, allowing them to focus more time and resources on their students.”
“Education continues to be the number one factor towards someone’s future success. And not just their success but the success of their family and generational success. So, we need to find ways to expand it – because access is pretty limited,” said Chegg Chief Academic Officer Dr. Nina Huntemann. “When we design these educational tools intentionally, we can make learning more inclusive and accessible.”
“AI for Education” is the second video in AI for America’s series, which aims to provide viewers with a closer look at how AI is transforming specific business sectors and aspects of everyday life for the better. The first video in the series, which was released this summer, focused on how small business owners are using AI to help level the playing field, accelerate growth, and focus more on the core aspects of their businesses that matter most to them.
About AI for America
AI for America is an initiative to educate the public about how AI is being used to improve lives, grow our economy, and keep us safe. The initiative combines coalition building, advocacy, social media, and traditional media to demonstrate the immense economic and societal benefits of AI. AI for America is funded by TechNet, the national, bipartisan network of innovation economy CEOs and senior executives. TechNet advances public policies at the federal and state level that make the United States the world leader in innovation. Its diverse membership includes dynamic American businesses ranging from startups to the most iconic companies on the planet.
AI for America launched in 2023 with a television and digital ad campaign in Washington, DC. The ad, “What If,” highlights how AI is helping solve the most significant challenges of our time while stressing the importance of developing the technology responsibly. The initiative expanded earlier this year with a second ad, “This is AI,” which showcases how AI is helping us work smarter and live longer. “This is AI” appeared on cable TV and across digital platforms in five critical markets in California, Colorado, Florida, and New York, as well as in Washington, D.C.
In April, TechNet and AI for America hosted a panel discussion with The Hill on the policies needed to advance America’s leadership in AI. The event featured a conversation with TechNet Executive Council members Kent Walker, President, Global Affairs, Google, and Kerry McLean, Executive Vice President, General Counsel, and Corporate Secretary, Intuit, as well as leaders from TechNet member companies including Michael Kratsios, Managing Director, Scale AI, and former U.S. Chief Technology Officer, and Rahul Sood, Chief Product Officer, Pindrop. Ed Knight, TechNet Chairman and Executive Vice Chairman of Nasdaq, gave opening remarks. You can watch the event here.
TechNet and AI for America also sponsored an event in February with the Washington Post to discuss the current efforts to govern AI, its innovative uses, and its importance to America’s global competitiveness. The event featured leaders from the Administration, Congress, and the tech industry, including an interview with TechNet President and CEO Linda Moore and U.S. Representative Anna Eshoo (D-CA) about the importance of getting AI legislation right, the CREATE AI Act, and the evolution of technological innovation since the Congresswoman first took office in 1993.
