The BBC World Service show Tech Life poses the question of how education should adapt as artificial intelligence reshapes society
BBC World Service's technology programme Tech Life has raised the question of what children should be taught in a world being transformed by artificial intelligence, according to a broadcast description published on BBC Sounds.
The programme, part of the BBC's ongoing technology coverage, frames the issue as one facing educators, parents and policymakers as AI tools become more embedded in daily life and the workplace, the BBC said.
Details of the specific arguments, guests or conclusions discussed in the episode were not included in the available programme summary. The broadcast is accessible via BBC Sounds as part of the BBC World Service's live and on-demand output.
The question of how curricula should evolve in response to advances in artificial intelligence has become a recurring theme in technology and education discussions globally, though the BBC did not specify which countries or education systems the programme addresses.
Tech Life is a regular segment on BBC World Service that covers developments in technology and their impact on society, according to the BBC.
