Abstract
Children in the early years of schooling grow up in a world where Artificial Intelligence (AI) is ubiquitous and taken for granted in everyday life. However, the international literature lacks references to the potential of integrating educational AI applications for this age group. This gap underscores the urgency of our research. In this research paper, we present a novel pilot educational program that introduces AI concepts, applications, advantages, weaknesses, challenges, and risks in the daily lives of young school children in a simple, understandable, and consistent manner. With its potential to revolutionise early childhood education, this program fills a crucial gap. In the work context, we present the structure of the educational program, the tools, and how it is implemented in the classroom, and we draw initial quantitative conclusions about its effectiveness.
