Google DeepMind Stefania Druga wants to encourage children to use artificial intelligence “to share” creation “instead of cheating.
Although there is a lot of discussion about whether “Learning the code” is still a good professional advice, it told Business Insider that she believes that coding skills will remain valuable – but how it is taught in school needs to be shift.
Discussions on artificial intelligence are often characterized by potential negatives, including fraud and deception. Sidon said that young people are often heavy users – but they do not always benefit from the best ends.
“The way they now use, in my opinion, are really disappointing,” said Daei. “But this is not their mistake. It is the way these techniques were designed. It is not the best thing we can do with artificial intelligence to learn, make them solve our homework, write our articles, or help us pass a test.”
DRGA said she believes that part of the problem is the type of tasks that students are expected to complete.
“We must change the entire frame. First of all, if artificial intelligence can solve the test, this is the wrong test,” she said. “Then, for example, generate articles-if you have a tool that always gives you prior information before bakery, and there is no kind of any kind, this is when you have issues that go beyond dependence and lack of critical thinking.”
DROGA said she first realized the need to teach artificial intelligence nearly a decade – a long time before the ordinary person knows what LLM is.
“Half of the families in the United States will be an aid, and people will first ask for things to Alexa before asking their parents.”
DROGA- Partially responsible for SCRATCH, which is the withdrawal programming language and rafting used to teach children how to code-created cognimates As part of her master’s thesis at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The program encourages illiteracy Amnesty International by involving children in projects that interest them, including building games and robotics programming, as well as learn how to train artificial intelligence models.
The idea is to provide children with a platform for technology experience safely, which is likely to be a large part of their lives in the foreseeable future.
“It is a kind of creating this sand box or the stadium for children to engage in the scientific process, because they formulate hypotheses such as,” for this reason Alexa responds in this way. ”Then they have a way to test that hypothesis very quickly.” The same will apply in the age of Gemini, ChatGPT, and large language models. How do we allow young people to create their GPs? “
DROGA said she designed her own platform to be more Socrates in nature – she asks questions to lead users along the right track, without feeding the answer. She added that the types of problems that children are required to solve, mean that they are often proud, and thus have their work.
“They are very linked to their project. It is a large part of their identity,” said a disease. “So, it is like my project. I do not want artificial intelligence to do it for me.” But when they stumble, they want to get a person to help him correct, or to help them find the right mass, or to help them move on the platform. “
According to DROGA, the approach to maintaining critical thinking should be to ensure that children start developing Amnesty International literacy “as much as possible”, “when used in educational places, artificial intelligence models should support” joint creation “instead of helping students reach a limited answer as quickly as possible-and the same tasks can be designed to be less and dry.
“The burden should not always take the right choice, because I think this is very much we should ask.” “If you are given a boring home duty and a tool it can do this for you, why don’t you use it? I don’t blame them.”
“We need to change how to teach and evaluate,” she added. “But we also need to change how to design these tools in order to make way for a youth agency, youth creativity.”
Coding is not dead – but coding education needs to be updated
DROGA said that cognimates teach children’s skills to serve them in the labor market is not yet present. Although she often hears that “coding is dead” (which you do not think is true) – it is still considered an education in the basics, which now includes understanding artificial intelligence, as very useful.
“I think the problem of CS education and computer education for the longest time was focused on the market, and a type of youth preparation for technology jobs,” said. “This promise, like,” Oh, if you have a CS degree, you will have a comfortable job and do not worry about anything. “
Druca said that this is no longer true, due to the uncertainty in the labor market due to the demobilization of workers and concerns related to the intelligence of artificial intelligence in the place of human workers, but it believes this is the “wrong goal” at first.
She said: “What we see with artificial intelligence at the present time – in large language models and other structures that come after large language models – is that technology changes so quickly that if the proposal of the full value of how to train people is to prepare them for specific chimneys or functions, it will become very fast.”
Ideally, DROGA said that preparation for work in technology involves convertible skills, especially teaching people to adapt to mystery, as the only constant you expect is “change and rapid change” – a view shared by the CEO of Google Deepmind Demis Hassabis. Although the traditional traditional career path may not be applied by the time when children who use Cognimates are ready to enter the workforce, Druga believes that it may not be necessary as well.
She said, “I know, at least, like 20 people who are 19 years old and went from a preliminary model to a fully sustainable financial product within two months,” she said. “They do not even need VC money or a technology job. They just build. They specify a problem, build a solution, divorce it, and get their salaries. It is profitable. So he talked about the future of jobs, right?”
Regardless of what is eventually ended with their skills in Amnesty International – DRGA believes that the important thing is that they are developing them in the first place.
“The goal is to make sure that everyone feels that this is for me, and they do not feel intimidated, or do not feel,” Oh, I need all this basic knowledge even to start, “because things change very quickly.” “I think the artificial intelligence engineer or science frameworks of artificial intelligence really challenge the way we thought about teaching the labor market and the type of pipeline before.”
