The Norwegian government announced a ban on the use of generative artificial intelligence by students from 1st to 7th grade, covering children from 6 to 13 years old.
The measure aims to protect the cognitive development of children, ensuring they do not skip essential learning stages during this fundamental phase of education.
The main justification presented is that the use of AI tools at this age could prevent children from developing basic skills such as reading, writing, and performing mathematical calculations.
This decision makes Norway one of the first countries to impose such broad restrictions on artificial intelligence technology in the school environment for such young children.
