Whatever debates we might have about AI in higher ed, is anyone actually advocating for AI in primary school? Seems self evident you would not want to do this. It’s so obvious elementary school is as much about social/emotional learning and you’re not going to get this from AI.
Their Prime Minister is right to ban the use of AI in elementary schools, as most people who use AI to answer questions don't focus on retaining a set answer but rather answering whatever question was asked. So yes, elementary school students will miss a lot of steps, but this is still just my own opinion. However, I am more interested in how AI was used in elementary schools in the first place.
well i am backtesting a pre-context engine written in typescript for storytelling, and so far i think the pdf and mp3 content is very good. Though i only limit it to certain writer style like jane austen or stan lee
Good, and should be banned worldwide for elementary school children. Either that or we get a generation of dumbasses with zero critical thinking skills.
AI is a tool and you have to learn how to use it. You do that in a place called school. I guess, they're afraid kids will learn the truth. It must be to stun their growth as there's no other explanation. You wouldn't ban AI in math class because at that age there is no application. But if there is computer lab, or laptops, i don't see what the problem is except them finding out the truth. It's just protection from future competition by stunting their growth. Modern kids are so uneducated that AI would benefit them no matter how they continued to exist.

I assume using AI to make teaching materials that teachers then disseminate is still fair game.
