Education experts have encouraged the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) to children at an early age.
This comes with the rapid emergence of ChatGPT, an AI chatbot launched in November last year.
“Just as we had to adapt to the use of calculators in the classroom decades ago, so too will we need to adapt to the use of AI in our classrooms and homes,” believes Lynda Eagle, academic advisor at ADvTECH.
“Within the context of schooling and education, we will need to enter into discussions with all stakeholders to ensure that we explore and develop deep ethical understandings and central agreements around how we use AI.”
According to Eagle, children need to experiment with AI technologies, such as chatbots, voice assistants and educational apps.
