Children have difficulty using generative artificial intelligence, US research found. — AFP Relaxnews
The rise of generative artificial intelligence has made creativity a hot topic. Some worry about the possibility of machines making art, while others hail the fact that this technology can simplify the creative process. To weigh up the pros and cons, US researchers have explored AI’s impact on the creatives of the future – children.
Researchers from the Universities of Washington and Michigan conducted an experiment involving a dozen children aged seven to 13. They involved them in several 90-minute creativity sessions over a four-month period. Adults were present during these workshops to help the children use AI tools such as Chat-GPT, Dall-E or Magenta. For example, they had to use these programs to create a storybook from scratch.
