人工智能 (AI) 無處不在——它可以重寫著名小說、創(chuàng)作歌曲并制作逼真的視頻。

雖然老一輩人擔(dān)心它會被取代，但今天的年輕人正在擁抱這項技術(shù)。

美國皮尤國家研究中心 2023 年 11 月的一項研究顯示，在聽說過人工智能聊天機(jī)器人 ChatGPT 的 13 至 17 歲青少年中，近五分之一曾使用它來幫助完成學(xué)業(yè)，這相當(dāng)于大約占美國所有青少年的 13%

同一項研究表明，十分之七的青少年表示在研究新事物和探索某個主題時可以使用聊天機(jī)器人。

然而，這引起了人們的擔(dān)憂，特別是當(dāng)人工智能產(chǎn)生誤導(dǎo)性或虛假信息時。

最近，谷歌的人工智能聊天機(jī)器人 Gemini 開始對歷史場景進(jìn)行“喚醒”和不準(zhǔn)確的描述，谷歌不得不為此道歉。

當(dāng)然，人工智能向下一代的引入是沒有回頭路的。

然而，問題仍然在于針對年輕人的最佳人工智能實踐，特別是在教育方面。

當(dāng)然，人工智能對下一代的影響是無法逆轉(zhuǎn)的。

然而，關(guān)于年輕人的最佳人工智能策略的問題仍然存在，特別是在教育領(lǐng)域。

Cointelegraph 采訪了 ArenaX Labs 首席執(zhí)行官 Brandon Da Silva，以更好地了解如何將人工智能高效、安全地應(yīng)用到青少年教育中。

人工智能提高技術(shù)悟性

ArenaX Labs 最近發(fā)布了 AI Arena，這是一款玩家對玩家的格斗游戲，玩家訓(xùn)練 AI 模型自主地互相戰(zhàn)斗，目標(biāo)是通過“玩”來提高 AI 素養(yǎng)。

Da Silva 表示，教導(dǎo)年輕人如何實際“訓(xùn)練”或“編程”人工智能具有重要意義，而不僅僅是詢問 ChatGPT 等工具的問題。

“如果您使用 ChatGPT 并且它開始給您一個奇怪的答案，那么了解原因很重要，”他解釋道。

“否則，有些人可能會開始認(rèn)為 ChatGPT 告訴他們的基本上就是福音，而不用擔(dān)心它可能不正確?！?

他加了：

“了解這些工具的局限性非常重要，因為只有了解它們的工作原理，你才能真正了解它們在哪里、為什么以及如何可能出錯。”

He said kids that begin to interact with AI at a young age, will more likely become a lot more “tech-savvy” than their peers who do not.

“We believe that AI will transform society and that it will be part of everyone’s lives going forward – and because of that, it’s important that people get familiar with it starting from a young age.”

Da Silva drew a parallel between those who grew up learning how to program from a young age. “Many of these people were better at programming as high schoolers than some full-time employees who have done programming for 10 years as adults,” he said.

However the issue is a multi-faceted one, “there are both benefits and risks,” he continued. The tendency for kids to become “glued” to technology like iPads and phones could be translated into AI usage if not monitored.

He also pointed to the aforementioned risk of AI's inherited bias, like with Google’s Gemini.

“This type of thing can be very dangerous – as adults, it’s easier to recognize bias. But as a child, you don’t know.”

AI in education

This is where proper AI education and attention from educators who are using AI come into play.

Similar to the way people will need to develop the discernment skills to spot deepfakes, Da Silva said we will all need to learn how to ask these important questions surrounding bias when AI is involved, starting with the youth. He said:

“Educators need to emphasize the importance of critical thinking skills when it comes to student interactions with AI.”

It will also be important to consider the user when teaching how to interact with AI – there is no “one-size-fits-all solution.” He said having different “l(fā)evels” of communication with AI for different kinds of learners is important.

Another important aspect for educators and those dealing with youth’s interactions with AI is the emotional relationships one can develop with an AI. Recent research from the Digital Wellness Lab said children can form “parasocial relationships,” or one-way emotional attachments with AI-enabled digital assistants.

It cited a study of children aged 6-10, in which 93% of participants said that a “digital assistant” they were familiar with was smart, with 65% responding that the device could be a friend.

De Silva said:

“Developing an emotional connection with an AI can help students become more invested in their learning. At the same time, having an emotional connection with something like an AI has a risk of believing what it says more than one should.”

In such cases objectivity could play a lesser role, because that kind of connection can lead one to feel that the AI is a trusted authority that doesn’t need to fact-check – especially among youth.

對于社會來說，這是一個關(guān)鍵時刻，因為人工智能繼續(xù)以光速發(fā)展，而人類卻在努力關(guān)注技術(shù)本身。

然而，對于當(dāng)今的年輕人來說，這是安全學(xué)習(xí)和使用最有可能塑造他們未來的工具的時刻。
