# College Board Redesigns AP Courses for AI Integration

The College Board is undertaking a redesign of two key Advanced Placement (AP) courses—AP Computer Science Principles and AP Seminar—to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) concepts and address AI's impact on academic integrity. Starting with the 2027-28 academic year, AP Computer Science Principles will embed AI and machine learning topics to enhance AI literacy among students, while AP Seminar will implement restrictions on AI use during essay submissions to uphold ethical standards. These curriculum changes reflect extensive teacher feedback and represent a strategic response to evolving educational and technological landscapes.

- **Why this matters:** Educational content providers and curriculum developers should anticipate new requirements for AI-related instructional materials and assessment tools aligned with the redesigned AP courses.
- The integration of AI concepts signals growing demand for educational technology solutions that support AI literacy and ethical AI use in academic settings.
- Organizations involved in educational content procurement and development may find opportunities to collaborate with the College Board or school districts implementing these updated AP courses.
- Procurement professionals should monitor related RFPs or contracts for AI-focused educational resources, teacher training, and assessment platforms aligned with these curriculum changes.
