AI Assembly Aids Students in Digital Future Prep

AI has the incredible power to open up new opportunities, boost the economy, and push forward scientific breakthroughs that could change and even save lives. That's why it's super important to get young people ready for a future where AI is going to be even more important.
Since it kicked off in 2018, Be Internet Legends has been a key part of teaching kids about online safety, reaching over 9 million kids in the UK and more than 100 million around the world. Now, seeing how crucial AI literacy is becoming, we're expanding the program to help kids learn the skills they need to do well in a world full of AI.
This week, we streamed our new "Understanding AI" assembly live to 152 schools, reaching 22,800 students. The assembly is all about explaining AI to kids in a way that's fun and easy to get.
The assembly breaks down what AI is and how it works in simple terms that kids can really grasp. It shows them where AI pops up in their everyday lives, like in voice assistants at home or the traffic lights that keep cars moving smoothly on the roads. It also gets them thinking critically about AI, questioning the info it gives them, and understanding its limits.
A big point the assembly makes is that AI is just a tool that can work alongside human skills and creativity, not take their place. It introduces kids to the idea of ethical AI and encourages them to think about when it's right to use AI—and to always check the age ratings on apps and other services.
We put together the "Understanding AI" assembly with help from a wide range of experts, including top AI researchers, online safety pros, and teachers. By working together and using feedback from a trial run in eight schools, we made sure the assembly's content is spot-on, suitable for different ages, and keeps kids interested.
The assembly also ties back to the core ideas of Be Internet Legends, especially the "Alert" part, which tells kids to stay aware of what's going on online and watch out for risks. By adding AI literacy to the program, we're trying to give kids the tools they need to be smart and responsible digital citizens.
You can catch the "Understanding AI" assembly on-demand at goo.gle/bil-ai-watch. For more info on the next Be Internet Legends assembly, plus other events and updates, check out goo.gle/bil-assemblies.

学生時代にこんなのあったらなぁ…私の時はマウス操作すら授業で教わらなかったのに。AIがこれだけ注目されているなら、教育現場でもっと本格的に取り入れるべきだと思うけど、どうやって実現するんだろう?教員のサポート体制も課題になりそうだなあ。 🤔
AI 教育ってよく聞くけど、これからは具体的な授業内容と実践的スキルのバランスが大事だよね。記事の STEM キャリア準備って面白いけど、AI そのものよりも倫理的にどう使えるか考える視点も高校生には必要かな🤔 プログラミング教えるより、データを読むリテラシーの方が将来的に役立つ気がする。学校によってはハードウェア制限もありそうで心配。
This article really highlights how AI is shaping the future for students! It's exciting to think about the opportunities, but I wonder if schools are ready to teach AI ethics alongside tech skills. 🤔
Wow, AI helping students prep for the future sounds so cool! 😎 It's wild to think how much it'll shape jobs and science. Hope they teach kids to use it wisely!
AI shaping the future for students? That's dope! It's wild how it’s already sparking breakthroughs and boosting economies. Gotta get the kids ready for this tech wave! 🚀
