Key AI hub China restricts schoolchildren’s use of the tech
CNBC

- China is restricting how much children can use generative artificial intelligence in schools, according to a local release citing the Ministry of Education.
- Primary school students are prohibited from using unrestricted generative AI tools on their own, although an instructor may use the tech to assist in teaching, according to the local government report.

Teacher: Hi ChatGPT, can you please let me know if this homework is done by you?

Schools need to embrace AI, it is unavoidable.

In homeworks, ask students to write an essay, knowing that they will use AI.

The key is to ask students to make hand-drawn illustrations and diagrams to describe the essay.

They will be forced to read the essay and organize the details into illustrations.

The use of AI in schools can have both positive and negative impacts. While AI can personalize learning, improve outcomes, and enhance engagement, over-reliance on AI can hinder critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Additionally, potential biases in AI systems, data privacy risks, and academic dishonesty are concerns that need careful consideration.
Potential Benefits of AI in Schools:

Personalized Learning:
AI can analyze student data to tailor learning experiences and provide individualized support.
Improved Academic Outcomes:
AI-powered tools can help students learn more effectively and achieve better results.
Enhanced Student Engagement:
AI can make learning more interactive and engaging, motivating students to learn.




Potential Drawbacks of AI in Schools:

Over-Reliance on AI:
Students may become too dependent on AI tools and struggle with critical thinking and problem-solving when AI assistance is removed.

Reduced Critical Thinking Skills:
Over-reliance on AI can hinder the development of essential skills like critical thinking and problem-solving.
Bias in AI Systems:
AI systems can perpetuate existing biases, potentially leading to unequal learning experiences for certain student groups.
Data Privacy Risks:
Collecting and using student data for AI applications raises concerns about data privacy and security.
Academic Dishonesty:
AI tools could be misused for cheating or plagiarism, leading to academic dishonesty.

Just assume the essay is written using GenAI, change the method for kids to describe their homeworks like presentation and story telling of what they wrote …

Like use of scientific calculator, when tech comes, education shall go next level as well …

Most exams despite open book, wont find word to word answer …

didnt I say I found the data puzzling when I showed you this chart in the first place?

I say up to a certain grade like primary 6, no AI allowed. they must be trained to write out their thoughts without machine assistance.

imagine one day there is a solar flare that knocks out the world electricity supply for an extended period. suddenly people need to use pen and paper to communicate via the writen word. imagine those kids who are brought up from young with AI crutch. they cant even write a simple paragraph without AI providing the framework and most of the content. resort to drawing like cavemen again?

What did you find to be puzzling?

at the risk of wolf warriors hijacking, I will spoiler it:

Ahahah but when they copy other country can...
Own ppl can't copy ...

Ahahahahahhahahahahahahjahajajahahahahajha

Hmm Africans oso very excited for AI.

why restrict?

copying is China's culture, this is against their own culture

Give them 1 individual project and 1 group project. Have them present both projects with Q&A. Assess their thought process and critical thinking.

LOL. They are slowly becoming a civilised society. Each generation can only become better and better

Ai cikgu nn

LOL very funny, China the master of copy and paste wanna restrict copy

yes. but very very slow

have to wait for those who born before 1980 all die to become civilized society faster

Each generation averages 30 years. Give it 1 - 2 generation and we can have civilised society without iron fist rule. Right now the blanket ban works well

Later at work
Also copying, that's the purpose of AI mah

last time we also not allow to use calculator in school or open book.....but....

1-2 generation means after 30-60 years? well maybe and maybe still half uncivilized

you mean the brainwashing works well now?

Not brainwashing. But iron fist rule with over 700 million CCTV cameras there, social credit to penalise untrustworthy person, limiting online gaming and now this blanket ban copying AI for homework...seems to bear good result

yes sure good result, no freedom like walled jail for the people, live like slave

Those scams all happen outside China. If inside their country crime is under control
