محو الأمية بالذكاء الاصطناعي والبناء للأطفال في العصر الرقمي

Session Summary:

يمكن أن تبدو وتيرة الذكاء الاصطناعي ساحقة، وبحق، يتم إيلاء اهتمام متزايد لتقليل آثاره السلبية على الأطفال. ومع ذلك، لا يكفي أن يتكيف الأطفال ببساطة مع الذكاء الاصطناعي - بل يحتاجون أيضًا إلى كفاءات أساسية لفهم أنظمة المستقبل والتفاعل معها وتقييمها بشكل نقدي. ستناقش الكلمة الرئيسية مناهج محو الأمية بالذكاء الاصطناعي وتستكشف كيفية بناء تكنولوجيا تمكينية للأطفال.

AI Literacy and Building for Children in a Digital Age

Session Summary:

The pace of AI can feel overwhelming and, rightly, increasing attention is being given to minimizing its negative impacts on children. However, it is not enough for children to simply adapt to AI - they also need foundational competencies to understand, engage with and critically assess the systems of the future. The keynote will discuss approaches to AI literacy and explore how to build empowering technology for children.
