As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to reshape education, communication, creativity, and the future workplace, experts urge parents to ensure children develop AI literacy from an early age.
Evans Edeha, CEO of Safi Education Limited, said AI is no longer a distant technological advancement but a tool already influencing how children learn, access information, create content, and interact with the digital world.
“Artificial intelligence is no longer a future idea. It is already shaping how children learn, search, create, play, communicate, and eventually work. This means AI literacy is becoming as important as reading, writing, and basic computer skills,” Edeha said.
According to him, AI literacy does not mean every child must become a software developer or artificial intelligence engineer. Rather, it means equipping children with the ability to understand, question, and responsibly use AI-powered tools.
The rise of generative AI tools has increased the need for digital awareness among young people.
