61 How Can We Teach Kids About AI When We Barely Understand It Ourselves? Amber Ivey 🤖 AI for Kids

By day, Amber Ivey uses big data to inform governmental policy decisions. Back in 2020, she was invited to tinker with a new tool from a young startup called OpenAI - two years before the public had ever heard the phrase "ChatGPT." She knew right away that the LLM would have huge ramifications for the way we relate to the Internet, and that kids would be particularly enraptured by it. She wrote a children's book about it, and her access to experts on the topic lead her to the next project: A podcast for kids and families about AI literacy - the risks, the potential, and the how we reckon with a digital world where nothing is what it seems. This week, Amber and Matt sit down to discuss what kids really understand when interacting with generative models, how to apply IRL critical thinking skills to the Internet, and why parents need credible and useful information now more than ever.
