At this week's AI for Good Global Summit,artificial intelligence (AI) experts, ethicists, academics, technologists, United Nations representatives, and youth gathered to discuss how AI can help support educational initiatives and improve the lives of young people worldwide.
Jonnie Penn underlined the importance of better incorporating citizenship education in schools for young people today to allow them to navigate and participate responsibly in the modern information environment, through critical thinking, personal autonomy, the ability to deconstruct the social realities embedded in political discourse, and the ability to understand power dynamics of the culture in which they live.
He added: "I advocate to incorporate young people in grand projects like setting up a bill of human rights for the digital era as well as building government services of tomorrow… AI may not give young people a great future, and we need to get more political to ensure it does".
