Importance of teaching kids about AI and cybersecurity.
The activity of defending mobile devices, servers, computers, etc., from harmful attacks is called cybersecurity. In today’s technological age, teaching kids about AI and cybersecurity is important.
It can help you understand how such technologies work, their advantages and disadvantages, and online safety.
You should know how to protect your personal information and how AI can be used to create fake news, which can make it easier to spot them.
These lessons can also help improve your problem-solving skills, prepare you for your careers, and teach responsible tech use.
Schools should teach these topics to help kids succeed in the technology-dependent world.
