Helping Kids Navigate the World of Artificial Intelligence
From Common Sense Media
From chatbots to image generators, it seems like everyone is playing with artificial intelligence tools these days. Although new programs keep popping up, AI is already a big part of our lives.
An artificial intelligence is any computer program that can do tasks that typically require human expertise or skill. AI can be used to power the voice assistants on our phones, the posts we scroll through on social media, the ads we see online, and so much more.
It's natural for children to be curious about the latest popular AI programs. As these tools become more widespread, it's important to talk with kids about responsible and appropriate tech use. These tips can help your family explore and learn about AI together.
- Talk about the benefits and risks of using artificial intelligence
- Try out AI tools together
- Talk about biases in tech
- Have conversations about plagiarism and cheating
- Ask your child's teachers and school for support
