Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is technology that helps machines do tasks that usually need human thinking, like learning and solving problems. In schools, AI can tailor lessons to fit each student’s needs. It also handles routine tasks so teachers can spend more time teaching. While AI offers many advantages, it’s important for kids to still practice thinking and learning on their own. By understanding AI’s role, parents can better guide their children in using technology wisely. You may view the school policy on the link below
