Their Prime Minister is right to ban the use of AI in elementary schools, as most people who use AI to answer questions don't focus on retaining a set answer but rather answering whatever question was asked. So yes, elementary school students will miss a lot of steps, but this is still just my own opinion. However, I am more interested in how AI was used in elementary schools in the first place.

Discussed at length:

It shocks me that anyone would be giving AI to elementary school kids, so I think this is good.

Really curious about how they actually ban it, like do they set a law against that behavior? Who is gonna to take the responsibility?Their parents?

Norway's approach can be seen as a "caution-first" policy choice, buying time for educational research and regulation to catch up with the technology.

Good, first develop empathy and social skills. Then critical thinking. Only then AI as an educational tool. Social media? Never.

Excellent news for child health and development.

AI is a tool and you have to learn how to use it. You do that in a place called school. I guess, they're afraid kids will learn the truth. It must be to stun their growth as there's no other explanation. You wouldn't ban AI in math class because at that age there is no application. But if there is computer lab, or laptops, i don't see what the problem is except them finding out the truth. It's just protection from future competition by stunting their growth. Modern kids are so uneducated that AI would benefit them no matter how they continued to exist.
