Banning kids from AI won't work — education needs rules, literacy, judgment
yi111 · reddit · 2026-09-30
- The author argues school bans on AI only control behavior within adult supervision: AI is already in search, social platforms and learning apps, so the real question is what choices kids make when they access AI on their own.
- Proposes a three-layer framework: external rules (what AI may not do, what must never be uploaded, disclosure norms); understanding and method (what AI can do, why it errs, how to verify and correct); internal judgment (asking why, what to delegate, when to stop, who is responsible).
- Conclusion: education should move children from relying on bans to self-managing their relationship with AI.
