AI Specialists Sound Alarm Concerning AI Impacts on Young Children's Development
A group of distinguished scientists, experts in various fields such as psychology, education, and pediatrics, have issued an urgent warning regarding the potential impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) on young children. The warning, part of a public appeal, discusses the complexities of development taking place during early childhood (0 - 3 years old).
The scientists, including Ellen C. Roche, Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, Rachel Romeo, and others, have extended this call to children's museums, inviting them to sign on to the statement in support of their concerns. By doing so, these institutions would express their support for the group's worries about the use of AI during the critical developmental phase of young children.
The invitation is a continuation of the concerns expressed in the original statement, which highlights the complexity of development taking place during early childhood. The scientists warn about potential impacts of AI use during this crucial period, and the call for support is a step towards increasing public awareness about these concerns.
The statement, a call to the public about the potential impacts of AI on young children, was composed by the interdisciplinary expert group led by Prof. Dr. Herta Flor ML and Prof. Dr. Johannes Buchmann ML, as part of a statement issued by the Leopoldina in September 2024.

This call for awareness is a significant step in promoting a better understanding of the potential impacts of AI on young children during their critical developmental phase. As technology continues to advance, it is essential for the public to be informed about its potential effects on the youngest members of our society.
