Preference for ease can negatively influence children.

Isolating kids from AI tools is perhaps not a good idea. Would be interesting to see how they can use AI tools to further their learning and creativity. The bad outcome here is that kids find it like a quick cheat for their assignments. The solve would be adapt the learning pedagogy to cope with it vs giving the same assignments/ tests and asking kids to do it without tech.

I do think there is an important use case here leveraging AI to act like a virtual "tutor" for kids where they can leverage natural creativity to engage with the AI in conversation. Especially the ones whose families are not in the financial situation t afford private tutors or other programs outside of public schools. The tricky thing though is these LLM platforms are notorious for confidently lying and making mistakes, so we don't want a kid "learning" something that is wrong. I think this would work best if the AI platforms/LLMs used in this area are trained on a specific subset of data that is known to be very accurate and the AI cannot go off the rails.
