A new study by Common Sense Media reveals that 7 out of 10 teens use AI tools for homework, but parents are largely unaware. The study highlights a concerning gap in knowledge and guidance surrounding AI usage among young people.
“Parents and teachers are pretty much out of the loop, so that young people are using AI platforms with virtually no guidance,” says Jim Steyer of Common Sense MediaAccording to a new study, there is a gap between what parents think their kids are doing when they do homework online and that they're actually doing.
When she had trouble catching up on her work in physics class, Hill says she"would go to ChatGPT to understand the topic that was being taught." The discovery wasn't all bad, however."I'm very proud that she found a way to teach herself independently." She added,"I think that aspect of AI is great."Nearly half of parents haven't talked to their teenage children about AI and the vast majority of parents say that schools haven't communicated with them about AI policies, says Common Sense Media.
For kids who utilize AI for schoolwork, Common Sense Media recommends teaching kids how to form the right prompt and fact check AI's responses.Heaven noted how important it is for teenagers to"hold fast" to their"authentic voice," and that"the magic is in the creativity" that comes directly from the kids themselves
