Our resulting work often has a long tail of use, so for both of these reasons we must be careful to future-proof what we provide, and to not overly focus on one single tool. The <em class="pu">Ruff Ruffman: Humble Media Genius</em> videos have been viewed over 100 million times, so getting the message right, with as much timelessness as possible, is important.</p><p id="f811" class="pw-post-body-paragraph nz oa hn ob b il oc od oe io of og oh oi oj ok ol om on oo op oq or os ot ou gn bk">And as a new generation of AI tools become intertwined with what our kids interact with — in their searches, in the algorithms that suggest what to listen to or, more importantly perhaps, what friends see their posts, and in the work they do at school — we should take stock and assess whether we’re headed into stormy seas or wide open blue oceans. (That Danish sea captain clearly has left his mark on me.) We should provide media literacy that kids want to engage with; it can’t feel like just another civics lesson.</p><h2 id="f534" class="ow ox hn bf oy oz pa dy pb pc pd ea pe oi pf pg ph om pi pj pk oq pl pm pn po bk"><strong class="al">We Can Learn from the Past to Inform Our Future</strong></h2><p id="26ef" class="pw-post-body-paragraph nz oa hn ob b il pp od oe io pq og oh oi pr ok ol om ps oo op oq pt os ot ou gn bk">There is very little research yet about generative AI, and so we in public media, and many of our colleagues across academia, are trying to conduct it. As a stop-gap, we’re leaning on studies of related technology: for example, how kids interact with chatbots can be informed by 10 years’ study into how they interact with digital voice assistants like Siri; these in turn often look back at prior research into <a class="af ov" href="https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2019.00008/full" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Human Computer Interaction</a>.</p><p id="ce25" class="pw-post-body-paragraph nz oa hn ob b il oc od oe io of og oh oi oj ok ol om on oo op oq or os ot ou gn bk">How we have evolved to use other digital tools can help us consider how we might use AI. For example, many of us have grown to trust Wikipedia but perhaps wouldn’t use it for a crucial medical diagnosis. And when was the last time you crossed-checked Google Maps directions with a paper map before trusting your computer-proposed itinerary? In other words, we decide the trust we place in every new tool we use.</p><p id="05fd" class="pw-post-body-paragraph nz oa hn ob b il oc od oe io of og oh oi oj ok ol om on oo op oq or os ot ou gn bk">Generative AI is in many ways exciting, new and challenging, and I believe we can and must equip young people with the critical thinking skills to help them use AI effectively.</p></div></div></div><div class="ab cb qf qg qh qi" role="separator"><span class="qj by bm qk ql qm"></span><span class="qj by bm qk ql qm"></span><span class="qj by bm qk ql"></span></div><div class="gn go gp gq gr"><div class="ab cb"><div class="ci bh fz ga gb gc"><p id="f7f4" class="pw-post-body-paragraph nz oa hn ob b il oc od oe io of og oh oi oj ok ol om on oo op oq or os ot ou gn bk"><em class="pu">This essay is part of the </em><a class="af ov" rel="noopener" href="https://medium.com/berkman-klein-center/generative-futures/home"><em class="pu">Co-Designing Generative Futures series</em></a><em class="pu">, a collection of multidisciplinary and transnational reflections and speculations about the transformative shifts brought on by generative artificial intelligence.
