Should I let my kids use AI for their homework?

Artificial intelligence seems to be popping up all over. So Aleks Krotoski and Kevin Fong are here to answer the questions it raises, like should I let my kids use it for homework?

Children always seem to figure out new technology before their parents, but as technology has become ever more advanced, and interactive, we have had to wrestle with questions about what technology, and how much is good for children, and what could potentially do them harm?

With the speedy proliferation of AI, these questions are all the more important. And the one Kevin and Aleks aim to answer this week is 'Should I let my kids use AI for their Homework?' Will AI just be a way to cheat on an essay, producing text to suit any topic in seconds? Will parents who reject AI see their children left behind their peers? Or could children, guided by teachers who understand the potential AI offers, use the technology to break free of old limitations, and have their capabilities expanded to get an education that truly sets them up for a future where AI is part of every facet of our lives?
