00:02Preparing to protest AI data centre proposals in their community,
00:07this group of young people also have big concerns about how the technology could shape their learning and future.
00:14They're boycotting it. My friends who are in uni at the moment, none of them use AI.
00:19And most of them are quite concerned about the impact that it has environmentally, socially,
00:23and the impact that it is having on their education.
00:26But students avoiding AI are the exception rather than the norm.
00:32The eSafety Commission found 78% of Australian children had used an AI assistant,
00:3891% for information and learning, 70% for writing or editing, and 68% for entertainment.
00:45Yeah, there's heaps of benefits because it makes all the information so easily available.
00:50And getting it to make a practice test with answers.
00:52In the, like, creative aspect, I hate it.
00:56There are concerns too about how AI could impact critical thinking.
01:01A study in China found while the use of AI lifted homework results by 18%, exam scores dropped by 20%.
01:10Some neuroscientists say AI can be an effective learning tool, but there's a theoretical risk that if it's used to
01:18offload deep thinking,
01:20it could impact on the creation of connections in the brain which build what's known as cognitive reserve.
01:27So we might be looking at some generations of people who have had deficit in this cognitive reserve,
01:34and then are much more susceptible to, say, conditions such as dementia.
01:38The rise of AI might prompt a rethink in how education is delivered and assessed.
01:43The rise of AI is now over on the highest level of risk is reduced.
01:43The rise of AI may market, the rise of AI must be divided by the highest level of risk.
01:45The rise of AI must be found under the highest level of risk.
01:47The rise of AI must be used in the highest level of risk.
