What is TAISE Compass?

TAISE — Trusted AI Safety Expert

TAISE Compass is a high school AI education program developed by the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) to prepare students for a future shaped by artificial intelligence.

Designed for students in grades 10–12, the program introduces:

  • Foundational AI literacy
  • Practical prompting and AI workflow skills
  • Responsible AI usage and safety principles
  • Career exploration and portfolio development

TAISE Compass is a version of CSA's Trusted AI Safety Expert (TAISE) certificate program adapted for high school learners.

CSA's goal is to provide free access to the curriculum to high schools nationwide beginning Fall 2026, helping ensure students learn how to work responsibly with AI before entering higher education or the workforce.

Why Early AI Education Matters

AI is rapidly becoming part of everyday life, from classrooms to workplaces.

Students are already using AI tools to complete assignments, research information, and explore career paths. At the same time, employers across industries are integrating AI into daily operations.

54%

of Students Use AI for Schoolwork

Yet 80% of teens say their teachers never explicitly taught them how. Students may have the tools, but lack the guidance to use them properly.1,2

88%

of Businesses Use AI in Daily Operations

AI skills are no longer optional. They are foundational to future careers.3

1. Pew Research Center — "How Teens Use and View AI"

2. RAND — "AI Use in Schools Is Quickly Increasing but Guidance Lags Behind"

3. McKinsey — "The State of AI in 2025"

Without early guidance, students risk becoming passive users of AI.

TAISE Compass ensures students don't just use AI. It helps them understand it, question it, and learn how to work alongside it.

A National Commitment to AI Education

The importance of responsible AI education is now recognized at the highest levels of government and industry.

The Cloud Security Alliance recently participated in the White House Task Force on Artificial Intelligence Education, where leaders from government, academia, and industry shared progress on preparing the next generation for an AI-driven future.

As an AI Education and Workforce Champion through the Pledge to America's Youth, CSA is committed to the development of TAISE Compass and making it freely available to high schools nationwide.
