The Necessity To Educate About Artificial Intelligence In The Digital Society

The increasing digitalization due to the pandemic has led to a new mode of thinking about the way we teach and learn, gradually abandoning traditional teaching as the only model of teaching/learning. We arewitnessing a renewal of the social structure, where Artificial Intelligence’s presence affects every sector. Society, and the school itself, are responding positively to this change, which brings with it many difficulties and concerns. Beyond the innovation that Artificial Intelligence is bringing to the educational context, its continuous implementation introduces some challenges. In fact, although teachers are working at their best to keep up with the current times, very often the generational gap related to digital skills stands out, highlighting inconveniences in their use. At the same times students, the so-called Generation Z, very often does not know the risk of its improper use even if they are digital native. With this paper, we want to produce a reflection on the need to educate and to un-derstand the correct use of Artificial Intelligenceby introducingan educational performance that provides, not only skills for its use, but also the correct knowledge in terms of risk.
