Children needs to understand smart technologies like AI and automation to avoid major harm in future
Smart technologies like Artificial Intelligence and automation can cause great harm to people if students are not taught in the classroom how to critically engage with those technologies, says an academic. Whether it's creating filter bubbles which polarise political debate or presenting fixed prices based on a person's past shopping habits, students need to be able to understand how this data is being used," Moses said in a statement. Children needs to understand the background machine system "While not every high school student needs to be able to code a Machine Learning algorithm, young people need to understand what's going on behind these systems so they can properly assess their use as future citizens, consumers or in a professional capacity," Moses added. Alongside broader computational thinking skills, students who can apply ethical reasoning and diverse knowledge and skills to applications of machine learning and statistics will be in a better position to challenge potentially harmful forces of automation, the paper suggested.
