AI is now part of everyday life – and we\u2019re all learning as we go.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Used well, AI tools such as ChatGPT can give kids different ways of looking at information, or help them organize ideas, but when used carelessly, they can replace effort, creativity, and critical thinking, and make it harder for kids to learn by themselves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A yearlong study by the Center for Universal Education at the Brookings Institution found that, given the current trajectory of generative AI and its use in education, <\/span>the potential risks to students overshadow the benefits<\/span><\/a>.

Given how versatile and widely used AI has become, kids could potentially use it in almost every part of their learning – <\/span>but it’s becoming clearer that it’s not a good idea to rely on AI for all tasks,<\/b> as this can limit a child’s ability to develop their own creativity, critical thinking, and deeper knowledge on any given subject.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are many ways kids can use AI in a school setting, without it taking away valuable learning opportunities. For example, they can use AI tools to:<\/span><\/p>\n
