Young Writers and Artists Take On AI and the Future of Knowledge in KidSpirit's Summer Issue

BROOKLYN, N.Y. - June 4, 2024 - PRLog -- KidSpirit (https://www.kidspiritonline.com), the award-winning online magazine by and for youth to explore life's big questions, launches its summer issue on "AI and the Future of Knowledge." This season, young contributors ages 11 to 17 explore essential questions about technology that will change our world.

Each issue of KidSpirit revolves around a Big Question posed by the all-youth Editorial Board. This summer, the editors ask how we can use AI ethically. A young writer from Pakistan outlines ways to "leverage AI for the collective wellbeing of humanity."

Other pieces released today include an article on the history of this new technology, a contributor's exploration of how tangible objects have connected her to her Chinese heritage, a piece about the importance of helping older generations use digital tools, and an essay about the impact of innovative educational experiences. Also just published are a review of Kazuo Ishiguro's Klara and the Sun and a short story about a dystopian future world controlled by robotic overlords.

Throughout the season, KidSpirit will continue to publish writing, poetry, artwork, and video by youth on this timely theme. In Features, writers will explore the ethics and applications of AI. The Interfaith Connections department will feature the perspective of a young contributor from Pakistan. In Media, young authors will review the documentaries AlphaGo and Do You Trust This Computer?. The Fiction and Poetry departments will showcase more creative writing on the topic from lyrical young authors around the world.

Each issue of KidSpirit features additional wisdom from one adult with expertise in the theme in a column called PerSpectives. This season's author will be announced later in the summer.
