Our children are not prepared for the AI era

If our children are to thrive in the coming AI age, we need to overhaul everything from our primary and secondary schools to how we approach computer science and coding to lifelong learning. We need robust data literacy -- we won't understand the application of AI without understanding data -- and at the moment, very few of us do. Only once individuals can comprehend and parse data (and the issues surrounding it) can they then start applying that knowledge creatively, including in AI. This isn't the naive idea that people should just'learn to code' -- it's that children should be learning how to thrive in a data and technology-driven environment from day one.
