Here's a nice story about efforts in the US to foster the teaching of AI
to K-12 students, including the AI4K12 Initiative, the work of AI4All,
Michelle Zimmerman's work, and Montour Middle School's AI elective:

And attached is an article from the Wall Street Journal about the use of
AI technologies in some Chinese classrooms to monitor students, e.g., to
make sure they are paying attention in class.  One approach uses
headbands that take EEG measurements.  Another uses cameras to track
students' faces.  And a third uses in-classroom robots that take
attendance and analyze chidren's behavior.  The article notes that
China's more relaxed attitudes toward privacy make possible experiments
that would be difficult to do in Western countries.
