The UNESCO AI Readiness Assessment Report for Chile was published to assess the country’s preparedness to integrate AI into education systems. The assessment identified Chile’s current state, capacity gaps, and opportunities for advancing AI literacy in schools and higher education, with findings informing the government’s national AI policy development and curriculum review process.
Published by: UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization)
Key finding: Chile is in the early stages of integrating AI into education; systemic capacity, teacher training infrastructure, and curriculum standards require acceleration to keep pace with global AI adoption trends.
Context: Chile’s government is responding to findings from this assessment by undertaking a government-led curricular review and launching digital transformation strategies. However, the gap between assessment findings and implementation remains significant, with the curriculum update moving from announcement to design stage only in 2025. Chile’s OECD membership creates expectations for alignment with international AI education standards, yet formal binding policies and dedicated funding for nationwide teacher training remain limited.
