🚨 BREAKING: Norway BANS the use of AI in primary school, with its Prime Minister adding that children should focus on learning to write, read, and do math. They have my full support. This is not 2004 anymore. We are past the social media hype and seem to have learned the lesson. Technology should not interfere with the learning process or with children's intellectual and emotional development. Some steps should not be skipped, regardless of the shiny new tech available. AI can wait until they are older. Kudos to Norway! Which country do you think will be next? I'll keep you posted! - 👉 To stay up to date on AI policy, ethics, and regulation, join my newsletter's 97,200+ subscribers below.

‼️🇳🇴 Norway bans the use of AI in primary schools due to declining school results. A new national recommendation says pupils should largely not use AI in schoolwork. The government's reasoning is sequencing: kids need to master reading, writing and arithmetic first, and it says research shows uncritical use of generative AI lets them skip the hard parts of learning. The backdrop is a years-long slide in basic skills. The government cites data showing one in four Norwegian pupils now reads below the minimum level, and says it won't repeat the mistake of rushing digital devices onto young children.
