Close Screens, Open Minds

British actress Sophie Winkleman has been outspoken about ensuring children are media literate with their use of smartphones and social media. Now with the proliferation of AI, the advocate of SafeScreens reinforces in this video: "We have to teach children how to think and AI teaches children how NOT to think." https://www.instagram.com/reels/DSVQM_2jCoG/

The Lady of Lord Frederick Windsor insists that AI undermines the function of schools and education. "The cognitive offload of using AI stunts and impairs the intellectual development of our children."

To add on, AI's impact is not limited to schools but the world over. Anyone who interacts with technology and the internet is bound to use or come into contact with some form of AI content. How does one maneuver the new world of AI? Become AI-literate.

At MBA Junior, we aim to teach the next generation to not be overtaken by the tool but to utilise the tool to their advantage. It is never too late to improve our knowledge of such new tech. Let's give our children a fighting chance too.

"Close Screens, Open Minds" group is concerned with speaking up against excessive EdTech in schools, and is a collaborative effort with patron Hugh Grant.
