Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being implemented in children's education through adaptive learning systems, educational applications, digital games, conversational tools, and generative technologies. AI supports personalized learning, improves access to age-appropriate educational resources, and helps teachers design activities that develop language, memory, attention, creativity, reasoning, and problem-solving skills. However, young children need learning experiences based on play, exploration, communication and meaningful interactions with teachers, parents and peers. Therefore, AI should complement, rather than replace, human guidance and social learning. Responsible implementation must also consider children's privacy, safety, well-being, developmental needs and equal access. When properly designed and guided by a teacher, AI can be a useful teaching aid to improve children’s learning and cognitive development.
