Artificial intelligence is coming to be a new sphere of knowledge and needs to be incorporated in syllabus
I would have though t , it should start at secondary school ....
In order to build up a solid scientific knowledge and background, I think it should start from early stages of education (i.e., elementary stage).
To all who are calling for incorporating AI in syllabus as a "new sphere of knowledge": what do you mean exactly by "sphere of knowledge" ? Speaking of AI as an existing phenomenon is quite different to ask students (before university level) to be involved in designing AI programs.
Children should be made aware of AI in early stages of their schooling as to benefit them to know and learn the pros and cons of the AI in all aspects of life from using smart phones to the latest driverless cars.

Children have not the slightest idea which consequences it can have when things are evaluated by an AI or that presented information can be wrong. Therefore I plead for it to be taught already in pre-school.
This question is strange on many levels. First, all parents have certainly noticed, there is confusion between the ideal of what should be "mastered" as thought by those who design the content (which is “of course” vital to be mastered by the experts who write the content of each "subject" to teach (variable depending on the ego of each expert), what the teacher is in capacity to transmit and, in the end what the student, the child, is in ability to assimilate with his "limited" abilities (maturation, fatigue, ability to make connections). Then additional teaching is one more lesson to teach or it must replace another teaching. But if all the lessons are vital for the experts, who agrees to say that his teaching is less important? Then, but we can continue, who transmits this knowledge ... the professor of history or math who in his spare time would have specialised in IA ... An engineer in AI (not the same remuneration). Finally, I join Rogalski: talking about something is different to practising it.
Another point of view is still to let the AI organize the transmission of knowledge ... disappeared the relationship between teacher and learner. We wish great pleasure to the computer who will have to remind a child that he must do his homework ... (unless he asks the AI to do them for him) ...
In Spain they have a proverb. "Talking about bullfighting is different to be in the arena." At last, children are not just machines to learn...
Have a good fun, my childs have a philosophy exam to pass ...
;-)
I am not sure. However, tis kind of clases are given at leats in beachlor degree
Hello! can we start with a clear definition of what is AI before asking how our institutions should deal with it? Who are the experts and can they talk about it in a way that we can seize the issues? What is the magnitude of the tide that will hit our society and educational system? We barely came to deal with the information revolution in education. How will it compare? We all saw some tv reports naming some scientists in that field. Are they here? can someone invite them?
