REGULATED AI IS GOOD FOR CHILDREN
| Start with an introduction so the reader knows what you will be looking at. | Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to how computers can do tasks that are usually done by intelligent humans. As a result, AI computers can now do amazing things, including writing songs, solving scientific problems and even helping to find cures for diseases. People are also using AI more and more in everyday life and although it might make many aspects of life easier, it could also make things worse, especially for our children. |
| Use a paragraph For each idea with evidence to support each one |
AI is already used by many forms of social media. As with other forms of social media, AI can learn about its users’ interests and hobbies, and that includes children. According to the website Net Positive, AI can even identify children’s voices. This might mean children are directed to online advertising and content that their parents would not want. |
| Start each paragraph with a topic sentence …. | However, some countries like Jordan are hoping to use AI sensibly. UNIDO reports that many industries have worked together to create a plan for using AI in the country’s development over the next five years. Jordan is in a good position for using AI as it is at the forefront of technology. |
| Remember to include the source you researched to back up each idea |
The people looking into using AI in Jordan are hoping it will help in science, investment, and government services. However, there is a danger that this increased use of AI could result in problems with online safety if not controlled. Consequently, the government plans to set up regulations to address these dangers and strictly control how it is used.

| Write a conclusion to summarise what you have said. |
Of course, some people are worried that students using AI might end up with incorrect work. AI search engines do not always use reliable sources and so information provided by AI might be incomplete or even wrong. We are still at an early stage in the development of AI and there is no doubt it is an exciting form of technology. However, without careful rules to control how it is used, and who it is used by, there are undoubted problems with it. Children themselves might find they are relying on a form of technology that in its present form should not always be trusted. As Time magazine argues in its article in July 2023, unless we start to control how we use AI, ‘kids will be the biggest losers.’ |
