Spring is here—and so is our new weekly podcast format! We’re now alternating between fun episodes for kids and a new segment, “AI Kids Scoop,” where we break down what’s happening in AI and education.
After a recent trip to Seoul, I saw just how powerful AI can be—using ChatGPT to plan, Google Lens to read menus, and Translate to chat with locals. It’s a reminder that AI is here now, and our kids need to learn how to use it wisely.
Our inaugural AI Kids Scoop covers groundbreaking developments in the AI education landscape. Google recently announced Gemini AI access for children under 13 through supervised accounts, while governments worldwide are racing to implement AI literacy programs. The US President signed an executive order advancing AI education, China mandated annual AI classes for all students, and the UAE plans to introduce AI concepts to children as young as four years old.
The private sector is responding with innovative offerings like Blue Whale AI Academy's summer camp for ages 5-12 and Buddy AI's language learning app designed specifically for children. Perhaps most fascinating is ABii, an AI-powered robot from the University of South Carolina that uses facial recognition to provide "empathetic tutoring" tailored to students' emotional states.
While these developments are exciting, we emphasize the continued importance of adult supervision, critical thinking, and creativity.
