AI for Kids Replay: How The Future Belongs to AI-Literate Kids (Middle +)
This is the last week of our break and we look forward to catching up in a couple of weeks. Check out this week's replay.
"Technology won't replace you, but someone who knows how to use it will take your position." These words from Eashan Kosaraju, a remarkable high school student from Ohio, capture the essence of why AI literacy matters for today's youth.
Dive into this eye-opening conversation with a teen who's already making waves in the AI education space as host of the All Things AI podcast and a responsible AI advocate. Eashan shares how his childhood love of mathematics evolved into a passion for computer science and artificial intelligence, emphasizing the critical need for students to understand technology that will shape their future careers.
Did you know that a number of Gen Zers consider AI the biggest threat to their future employment? Rather than feeding these fears, Eashan is tackling them head-on through his educational initiative "Empower with AI" and his work with the youth-driven organization Encode Justice. He breaks down complex concepts like large language models into kid-friendly explanations while highlighting both the opportunities and risks this technology presents.
Parents and educators will appreciate Eashan's thoughtful approach to balancing AI tools with academic integrity as he discusses how school districts nationwide are responding to AI in the classroom. His vision of human-centered technology development offers a refreshing perspective on how we can harness AI's benefits while mitigating potential harms.
