This week, for the relevant publications for newsletters and children today and the senior correspondents Anna North and Adam Clark, they enjoy a chat about something that each of them as journalists and fathers of young children: How will artificial intelligence be the life of the next generation?
Anna North: Hello Adam! Enthusiastic to chat about artificial intelligence and children! In addition to reporting children for work, I also have a 7 -year -old young man (who is patient at home today and I watch Amphibians Currently, this may cross), and a two -year -old child (not currently considered sick, yay!).
This Adam Clark: Anna! My child is not yet 2, but as they say, the days are long, but the years are short. I feel I will meet her friends at AI at any time.
I: Ha! So we are talking about that, should we start this by talking a little about our hopes and fears that our children grow up in the era of artificial intelligence?
I feel that there is a lot to contemplate: I am excited because my children will grow up at a time when we can use artificial intelligence Developing new drugs and Decoding the elephant language (Although some of these artificial intelligence tools are properly called machine learning?).
My biggest fear is that my children will not see a learning point of certain skills, such as writing and mathematics, because artificial intelligence can do these tasks for them. Certainly I am concerned about Amnesty International as well, but this is a way for my children.
Adam: Indeed, I am not worried that my child is the friends of Amnesty International. Maybe you will do! I just hope not to spend a long time with them or a lot of time with technology that works in Amnesty International in general.
I hope we will enter the era of the new artificial intelligence together and learn how these tools can make our lives better, richer and more interesting. He reminds me of how the Internet appears at the same time that I did, but my parents seemed very afraid of discovering this at the time. I hope to be brave.
I: My father was actually on the adopted Internet early, so we entered that era together, which was sweet. We used to go to doctor Chat rooms – I remember once in the inclusion of our time “43 and 12”. That was nice for me because 1) I learned to use a computer and 2) I learned to be curious and not afraid of new technologies. However, I am a little afraid about artificial intelligence! I may have to direct this curiosity a little more when I am with my children.
A friend of Lee was telling me that her area was offering artificial intelligence tools in kindergarten, so young people begin.
Adam: And I still see ads for animals stuffed with the New. Artificial intelligence is still the word tannah, but I think we are beginning to see how it will really take over technology as we know it. I always say it is just the next repetition of the program already in everything. Therefore, of course, you will be in the classroom – not only for cheating purposes, too.
I: Cheating in the use of artificial intelligence is less than a problem for young children because they do not do a lot of their work on computers yet. Artificial intelligence tools I saw proposed for K-6 like this Reading trainer who works in your rootsWhich seems less vulnerable to cheating than, for example, ChatgPT. I have certainly heard that people say artificial intelligence can offer more specialized lessons one day, which may be positive because individual instructions are really useful, but public school classes are often very large so that many of them are not presented. This idea does not scare me too much, although there are questions about the reliability and accuracy of artificial intelligence tools.
My older child in the first grade, and in his school, there is a lot of talking about the role of artificial intelligence in mathematics. The argument that I heard is very similar to what we learned about calculators, frankly: that these tools will be able to do a lot of simple operations for us, so children should be able to think intuitively in the numbers.
I don’t really think that we will return to oral exams, but we will have to reconsider what it seems to be education in a world that works on artificial intelligence.
Adam: I am also curious about how to change artificial intelligence simply how schools work. Like, if artificial intelligence makes it very easy to cheat when writing articles, what teachers will appoint him instead? What will you do? I don’t really think that we will return to oral exams, but we will have to reconsider what it seems to be education in a world that works on artificial intelligence.
I: I think there is a transformation into more tests and tasks in the classroom, which can cause them to be strained. I also wonder if there is a shift towards developing a different set of skills, if writing becomes less important. We already see children and youth who consume a lesser text – will not be shocked if there is more focus in the coming years on oral symptom or vocal and visual production skills. This brings me as a writer, but perhaps this is what Plato wanted? I try to remember that people have always been skeptical of new technology (even written language), and some concerns we are witnessing now thousands of years old.
I will not be shocked if there is more focus in the coming years on oral symptom or vocal and visual production skills.
Adam: Some seem to be re -worries only two decades ago. Every time a new technology or broker comes, there is a collective whim that destroys young people. This is completely true for social media as was the case for television, video games, photo books and even radio. I think this will be true in artificial intelligence in social environments as well. that it It is already possible to have a friend of Amnesty International Through applications like Replika or Kindroid.
I was not kidding around animals stuffed from artificial intelligence. there One is called Groke This is designed – by GRIMES for all people – for ages 3 and above. Children can ask questions on it, and artificial intelligence will tell them things, such as future Teddy RutabinWith the exception of Teddy Ruxpin, he had a cassette tape in his stomach that parents could listen to and know what the stuffed bear would say. I have no idea what Amnesty International will tell our children!
I have seen people calling this The end of the fictional friend. I actually think it’s just the beginning of something new. What is this, I can’t imagine. At least not yet.
I: It is funny to me because Teddy Rokabin was a famous creeping! The social side/playing of artificial intelligence is superior interests. I am not worried about killing fictional friends of artificial intelligence – children will make friends with tomato paste, and I don’t think you can destroy their social creativity easily.
My biggest interest about artificial intelligence friends now is safety – there is already there Claims claim Chatbots pushed children towards violence or self -harm. Do you know what the handrails are in place?
Adam: My feeling of general towards the handrails is that, regardless of their number, technology finds a way to jump over it. YouTube, for example, has long struggled with how to make sure that parents can direct their children to a safe and suitable content for age, but children find themselves potential in a rabbit hole of Videos created algorithm. Dill an endless supply will not help the content created in artificial intelligence in this mix, so I think parents should be vigilant about the tripartite verification that their children watch or play with.
There was a PEW study earlier this year he said About a quarter of all teenagers Try Chatgpt to work for school. This number has doubled in the year.
So if you assume that the handrails are not present or will not work and that children will try a kind of artificial intelligence tool in the end, where is that parents leave? To be honest, I think we must all do what your father did with you: hang in the likely chat rooms together. Talk to Chatbots together. Play with artificial intelligence games together. Learn this new technology with your children and help them learn when to put them away.
I think we should do what your father did with you: hanging in the similar chat rooms together. Talk to Chatbots together. Play with artificial intelligence games together.
I: I am sure that my father will appreciate this support and motherhood! You are not alone, though. Andrew Pr StuYBYLSKI, a professor of Oxford, I think we talked about who studies phones and children, talks about the definition of his children with smartphones the way you will learn a bike ride child: it’s a tool. It has risks but also uses. It can be fun, which is an essential part of life. Perhaps the same applies to artificial intelligence?
This conversation is somewhat makes me think I need to use more than artificial intelligence with my children, the place I expected to end up.
Adam: It is important to point out that we are mostly talking about artificial intelligence here, and chat chat. There are also photo and video generators. All of these have clear applications for children in schools, to cheat and learn. But we have not reached what the next generation of artificial intelligence will affect the lives of our children – things like artificial intelligence agents who can use computers themselves or artificial general intelligence that can be very afraid and who can do anything theoretically. This future is more difficult for me to understand now.
I: Yes, I think there is a lot for the next ten or fifteen years, whether in artificial intelligence or in the lives of our children in general, it is difficult to wrap his head. My husband and I are always joking about going to the kidney on the moon, but I think it is just a way to express the uncertainty that always exists when you try to stand out very far.
