Blakeley H. Payne from MIT Media Lab shares her experience building a course on AI for middle-schoolers and surprising learnings along the way. For our September AI Ethics Twitter Chat, we invited Blakeley H. Payne (@BlakeleyHPayne), Researcher at MIT Media Lab to get her insights on "How should we teach Gen Z about AI?" and learn about the great course on AI she has built for middle schoolers. Let's start off with your insights on what's different or unique about Gen Z and their attitude towards tech compared to other generations? Blakeley H. Payne: A term my advisor likes to use is "AI natives." Children of this era have grown up with AI-mediated technologies since birth.
