MIT Technology Review recently presented coverage on how kids feel about AI.
What surprised us most was how much young people might be able to teach adults about AI, and how clearly the kids who use it could name what they will and won’t hand over. They’re not as worried that it will take their jobs as they are that it might harm society. And with increasing access to tools that could in theory do their thinking, their talking, or even their friend-making for them, it sounds as if most want to keep their hands on the wheel.

The stories are heartening. Anecdotally, as a theme it matches what I have been hearing from our own daughter (13).
