New guidelines surrounding artificial intelligence in the classroom have been put forward by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization. UNESCO released its “Guidance on Generative AI in Education and Research” on Thursday, unveiling a call to its 193 member states to consider an age limit of 13 for using AI in school. This is currently the age limit to use ChatGPT, an AI app, and is the limit set by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s 1998 Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of the United States of America. This law prohibits companies and online platforms from providing services to children.
