The introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into educational settings presents numerous challenges, particularly when it comes to teaching young students. The complexities of AI concepts, the need for understanding data and algorithms, ethical concerns, and the lack of resources and expertise all contribute to the difficulties educators face. However, as AI becomes an increasingly important part of our everyday lives, it is vital to equip students with the skills and knowledge to understand and navigate this rapidly developing field. This article explores the key challenges in teaching AI to young students and suggests strategies for overcoming these obstacles, emphasizing hands-on learning, real-world applications, and ethical considerations.
