BHWAI Shields Kids from AI Dangers with Free Curriculum
Summary
Anthropics Dario Amodei warns, we "do not understand how our own AI creations work," raising the alarm of a profound safety challenge. Unlike therapists, who prioritize well-being, AI lacks a moral compass or the users best interests, says Erin Westgate, a psychologist and researcher at the University of Florida who studies social cognition. The no-teacher-preparation online curriculum includes interactive lessons comprised of videos, comics, and games, aligned with Common Core standards. Modules like "Spot the Bias," refined through real-world feedback, and tools like the AI-Human Translator teach ethical AI use and counter manipulative systems. By offering this program for free, BHWAI removes barriers to education, ensuring every child can develop AI literacy.
