In today's educational landscape, an increasing number of young learners are embracing generative AI technologies, such as ChatGPT, to enhance their learning experiences and academic endeavours. While this technology presents significant potential for learning, it also carries the risk of being utilized in ways that may hinder critical understanding, and risks for potential bias, misinformation, and plagiarism. This workshop seeks to familiarize concerned adults with this cutting-edge technology through a lens of critical engagement. By doing so, we aim to equip parents, educators, and mentors with the knowledge and tools needed to guide our children and youth in effectively navigating the complexities of the digital age.
