AI for Kids What If Your First Teacher Was an AI? (Middle+)
Dipti Bhide, CEO and co-founder of LittleLit Kids AI, reveals how the first generation of AI-first children are learning to safely navigate AI through kid-friendly tools and experiences. She shares her journey from building tech for adults to creating the world's first all-in-one AI platform specifically designed for elementary and middle school children.
• An entire generation of children are learning AI before they learn Google search
• Little Lit AI was inspired by Dipti's experience teaching her neurodivergent son using personalized AI-generated math problems
• The "Whole Child AI" framework teaches kids not just how to use AI but what it is, how it works, and its limitations
• Children need to understand the difference between human and AI interaction for safety reasons
• AI literacy doesn't require coding knowledge - it's about communication skills
• Kids should learn AI basics before jumping into creative applications
• Understanding AI bias through hands-on experiments helps children develop critical thinking
• Teaching ethics means helping kids see AI as a creative tool, not a shortcut for cheating
