Is AI fundamentally altering how we learn, create, and think? Are we sharpening our minds, or inadvertently outsourcing critical thinking to robots? This week, we delve into the complex intersection of AI and education with Kyle-Prescott Ogunbase, an AI educator and digital strategist from Newsela and Superhuman.
Imagine a classroom where students, deeply engaged with AI tools, are rapidly coding applications, generating digital art, and even building their own video games. Kyle's AI-powered S.T.E.A.M. workshops demonstrate the potential for AI to transform students into active creators. But is this transformation coming at a cost?
We explore the critical question: Is AI fostering genuine intelligence, or are we risking the creation of 'button-pushing drones' dependent on machine output? WILL ANYONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN?
Takeaways
- AI is empowering students to become creators, not just consumers.
- Workshops introduce kids to cutting-edge technology and its possibilities.
- Critical thinking is essential in an AI-driven world.
- AI can be a tool for both creativity and misinformation.
- Access to technology is not equal; information deserts exist.
- Community leaders play a crucial role in educating others about AI.
- Open source tools can help bridge the gap in access to technology.
- AI democratizes access to power but does not ensure equality.
- Intentional development of educational tools is necessary.
- Parents should engage with AI tools to better educate their children.
