AI is rapidly becoming the infrastructure upon which future economies, governments, healthcare systems, education, agriculture, finance and national security will be built. Without digital infrastructure, AI becomes an imported service rather than a domestic industry. Schools and universities must begin teaching AI literacy, machine learning, robotics, data science, cybersecurity, the ethics of AI, quantum computing fundamentals, and human-AI collaboration. Most importantly, AI education should begin long before university. AI systems should operate transparently while respecting individual rights.
