MIT developed a course to teach tweens about the ethics of AI
This summer, Blakeley Payne, a graduate student at MIT, ran a week-long course on ethics in artificial intelligence for 10-14 year olds. In one exercise, she asked the group what they thought YouTube's recommendation algorithm was used for. "To get us to see more ads," one student replied. "These kids know way more than we give them credit for," Payne said. Payne created an open source, middle-school AI ethics curriculum to make kids aware of how AI systems mediate their everyday lives, from YouTube and Amazon's Alexa to Google search and social media.
