Artificial Intelligence(人工智能), or AI in short, is a kind of computer programming that enables machines to learn from data(数据) and make decision s without human input. AI has become an important part of people's daily lives. It's necessary to understand how AI will impact(影响) the lives of children-both now and in the future, especially when some new AItools have become really popular.
AI could bring good changes to children. It can improve children's educational experiences by checking their performance on schoolwork and giving advice to support them to study better. If children have problems understanding a difficult topic, they could use AI to break it down into smaller ones step by step. Also, AI can give healthcare advice to help doctors work out problems. So for children, they will get a more personalized healthcare experience.

Besides, kids should be very careful when they share private information with AI.Someone might use what they share about themselves to make money.
Learning to use AI and teaching children how to live with it safely can help create a better future. Let's use AI smartly and prepare our children for life with AI, so that they can enjoy the good things about AI without worries.
