One of the objectives of schooling is to help young men and women to develop the competences that are necessary to find their place in the working world. However, what is the best way of doing so? What studies should we recommend? Any focus on specific knowledge must certainly be accompanied by tools that are useful to develop know-how. Thus, artificial intelligence is important not only to improve learning levels, thanks to the adoption of innovative tools, but also for didactic programmes, as technology to be understood, including its risk and many applications.
The School Channel of the Agenda Digitale magazine includes a new article by Mirta Michilli, Director General of the Fondazione Mondo Digitale, dedicated to education on artificial intelligence in schools.
What is being done in other countries? What about Italy?
Mirta Michilli explains how the strategy of the Fondazione Mondo Digitale begins with the youngest to introduce the entire population to artificial intelligence and “manage its impact through critical thought and awareness. Inserting the study of AI into didactic programmes provides the new generations with tools that will be useful to guarantee a better life to them and help schools to provided digital culture to drive the inclusive transformation of the country.”
