Partnering with CodeAI to prepare the first AI generation
Summary
OpenAI and CodeAI are partnering to help students become the first generation to grow up with AI by teaching them to understand how AI works, think critically about its outputs, and use it responsibly. Currently, most students use AI but only 16% receive classroom instruction on how it actually functions. The partnership includes launching ChatGPT for Teens (a version with built-in safety features and parental controls) and several educational programs like the Hour of AI and Builders Challenge to help millions of students develop foundational AI literacy (basic knowledge of how AI systems operate).
Solution / Mitigation
The source explicitly describes several educational and safety measures being implemented: (1) ChatGPT for Teens with "built-in protections for teens, including features to promote healthy use and additional controls for parents," (2) establishing "a joint advisory council that will bring together experts and leaders on child development, youth public policy, and learning science" to provide guidance on emerging risks and responsible AI practices, (3) the "Hour of AI" program to "introduce millions of students to the basics of using AI thoughtfully and responsibly," and (4) the "Builders Challenge" to help high school students create with AI and receive mentorship.
