LRN becomes first exam board in world to officially introduce AI subject in GCSE, A levels

The British examination board ‘Learning Resource Network’ (LRN) has become the first examination board in the world to officially introduce the subject of Artificial Intelligence at international GCSE and A levels.

The LRN will now provide AI education to students aged 14-19 through accredited schools and centres around the world. LRN Chief Executive Dr. Muhammad Zohaib Tariq said that the qualifications are designed to equip learners with an understanding of AI concepts, applications, and ethical considerations. They are equivalent in academic weight to traditional subjects such as Mathematics or Physics, and are available internationally.

He said that this is Britain taking the lead in AI education. By launching the world’s first full school qualification in Artificial Intelligence, we’re setting a global standard — and giving students everywhere the chance to build strong academic foundations for the AI-powered future.
