What Do Kids Actually Think About AI?

wired.com Charley Locke 2025-11-18 06:00:00

Ask an adult what they think about kids and AI, and expect to hear a strong opinion. Parents, politicians, experts—everyone has a take on whether young people should use AI, how to moderate their exposure, and how it’s changing the ways they think and communicate. Many of these opinions revolve around education. Adults fret that kids will turn ChatGPT into a research bot, paper writer, or math problem solver.

Teachers Are Trying to Make AI Work for Them

wired.com Sofia Barnett 2025-11-18 06:00:00

One day last spring, in a high school classroom in Texas, students were arguing about who to kill off first. It was a thought experiment with a sci-fi premise: A global zombie outbreak has decimated major cities. One hundred frozen embryos meant to reboot humanity are safe in a bomb shelter, but the intended adult caretakers never made it. Instead, 12 random civilians stumbled in. There’s only enough food and oxygen for seven. The students had to decide who would die and who would live to raise

Taiwanese politics increasingly revolves around one crucial question: Will China invade? China’s ruling party has wanted to seize Taiwan for more than half a century. But in recent years, China’s leader, Xi Jinping, has placed greater emphasis on the idea of “taking back” the island (which the Chinese Communist Party, or CCP, has never controlled).
