How Kids Can Co-Create with AI—and Why Ethics Matter: New Courses For Educators
Is your child using AI for homework without really understanding it? With 70% of teenagers already using tools like ChatGPT—often without proper guidance—there’s a growing need for education that goes beyond AI’s technical aspects. Here’s a solution designed specifically for your young learner.
Learning AI the Right Way
Gone are the days when AI education was either overly technical or simply focused on potential dangers!
Being Human With AI (BHWAI) has just released its free online curriculum designed specifically for children aged 9+. This approach teaches children how to work with AI as a collaborative partner and not a tool for copying answers.
Through interactive comics, games, and hands-on activities, your child can learn to:
- Ask AI better questions.
- Analyze responses critically.
- Understand AI's limitations.
- Use AI ethically and responsibly.
BHWAI's curriculum connects these concepts to real-world examples, making abstract ideas concrete and relevant to your child's everyday experiences.
Why AI Education Matters Now
The statistics speak for themselves:
- Most teens use AI without their parents' knowledge.
- 88% of parents believe AI literacy is important but worry schools aren't teaching it.
- Usage increases with age: 25% of high school juniors and seniors use AI compared to just 12% of middle schoolers.
Without structured education, students risk either becoming overly dependent on AI or missing out on its benefits entirely. That's why BHWAI's approach focuses on balance—teaching students to use AI as a tool while maintaining their own critical thinking skills.
A Curriculum Designed for Everyone
Whether you're a teacher, homeschooling parent, or just want to help your child manage the digital world responsibly, BHWAI's curriculum fits seamlessly into your schedule. The structured six-module course:
- Takes only 1-1.5 hours to complete.
- Aligns with Common Core standards.
- Includes comprehensive teacher resources.
- Requires no technical expertise to implement.
The platform is currently in beta with one module available, and the full curriculum will soon feature six modules covering AI ethics, creative collaboration, and critical thinking.
