Parents should explore writing tools with their kids and discuss how they are useful, where they fall short and what problems may arise, child psychologist says
Back-to-school prep for Toronto mom Valerie Tih involves homework she’s assigned to herself – a crash course in artificial intelligence tools that she expects her sons may encounter this school year.
As a former teacher, Tih says she expects educators and curriculums will address increasingly sophisticated tools that colleges and universities are also grappling with. She says teens should do homework in a common area like the kitchen table, not alone in their room where YouTube and other distractions prevail. While many tweens and teens are computer savvy, the University of Montreal professor says that without adult guidance they may struggle to fully grasp possible online safety issues and ethical dilemmas.
Ottawa mom Lian Wright says she’s questioned her 12-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son separately about what they know about online AI tools, why they are used and the consequences of using them. Wright, who is Black, also wonders if AI tools could expose her mixed-race kids to inaccurate, harmful or racist information, or generate offensive material for classmates that sow divisions among students.
