quick_read: A new 20-hour introductory module on computational thinking and AI is being brought into classes 9 to 12. It was developed with IIT Madras and IIT Jodhpur and is described as activity-based.

The module puts AI literacy into school teaching, including topics such as deepfake detection and data privacy that relate to everyday risks. The supplied text is cut off, so how it will be delivered, assessed or rolled out is not stated.
limitation: 
tag: Evidence-backed gain
key_points: The module runs for 20 hours and is introductory in scope. | It is aimed at students in classes 9 to 12. | IIT Madras and IIT Jodhpur helped develop the activity-based content. | Topics include machine learning, deepfake detection, data privacy and ethical AI use.
rundown: The module is framed around computational thinking and AI. Students are to learn how AI appears in everyday applications and how machines learn from examples.

Beyond technical basics, the content covers deepfake detection and the ethical boundaries around protecting personal data, so students also learn about the risks of the technology.
