A Macon day camp introduces kids to the ethics of AI; Georgia Public Broadcasting, July 1, 2024

 

"Young children today may never know a time without AI.  So how do you teach kids to use AI effectively — and ethically? That was the focus of a June day camp for middle schoolers in Macon. GPB's Taleen Hanna has more.

“With the existing workforce, AI is going to take over so much of the customer service or tech support,” Finkelstein said. “So should we not use AI just for the sake of giving more people jobs?”

The students began to think it through out loud, but they really had no clear answer. Just getting them to think it through achieved some of Finkelstein’s aim. 

Artificial intelligence has worked its way into our everyday lives, whether we like it or not. Kids today may never know a time without AI, so how do you teach them to use it effectively and even ethically?

That question was at the heart of a day camp in June hosted at Mercer University in Macon, and spearheaded by Finkelstein."
