Across the world since the release of ChatGPT, we have seen younger and younger people make use of artificial intelligence chatbots and image generators for their schoolwork and their lives at home. First, students in universities adopted AI, then teenagers in secondary schools, often with their parents unaware of it. Now, we’d like to know how the youngest among us are learning about AI.

AI companies typically prohibit children under 13 from using their products in terms of service agreements. Some parents and teachers, however, are introducing ChatGPT and other AI to their children and their students in the hopes that an early familiarity with the technology will prepare them to succeed in the future.

With this in mind, we would like to hear from parents and teachers about introducing AI to younger children and instructing them how to use it. In what ways are you teaching them about the technology, and why?
