From chatbots to image generators, it seems like everyone is playing with artificial intelligence tools these days. Although new programs keep popping up, AI is already a big part of our lives.
An artificial intelligence is any computer program that can do tasks that typically require human expertise or skill. AI can be used to power the voice assistants on our phones, the posts we scroll through on social media, the ads we see online, and so much more.
It's natural for children to be curious about the latest popular AI programs. As these tools become more widespread, it's important to talk with kids about responsible and appropriate tech use. These tips can help your family explore and learn about AI together.

Many AI tools can help kids be creative and learn new skills. New programs are being created that can support children's individual learning needs. Depending on the app, AI can also be useful for everyday tasks, from making a list of chores to finding ideas for fun family activities. Chat with your child about AI tech that excites them. Get them thinking about how the programs could help them learn and grow.
