How Estonia is turning AI into a smarter study buddy

Estonia is taking a unique approach to using AI in schools. They are tweaking ChatGPT to ask more questions and give fewer answers.

A Big Deal in Education

Most people use AI to get quick answers. But Estonia wants to use AI to make students think more.

Estonia is known for being tech-savvy. They started using AI in schools this year. Students and teachers are finding new ways to use AI.

One teacher asked students to pretend to interview a famous scientist using AI. Then, they had to write about what they learned without using AI.

Changing how people use AI is not easy. Students are used to getting quick answers. Making them think harder can be frustrating.

A professor in Estonia is studying how students use AI. He wants to see if they are learning to think more critically.

The biggest challenge is that OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, may not want to change how it works. They want AI to be helpful and easy to use.

But Estonia thinks AI can be more than just a quick answer machine. They believe it can help students learn to think for themselves.
