AI as a cyberbullying tool
The Artificial intelligence Open source has been the great technological revolution of the last year, but the possibility of using it improperly generates fear both within the family and in the training community. In this sense, more than 60% of parents and 70% of teachers have a lot or enough fear of access that children may have to this new technology.
The report shows that more than one in two parents considers that AI may increase cyberbullying among teens. Near the 20% of Spanish parents declare that your children have used Generative AI and two out of five indicate that the use they made was unsupervised.
However, mothers and fathers are in disagreement with the implantation of Generative AI in classrooms. They consider that neither teachers nor educational centers have sufficient information and training to make responsible use of them.
