Estonian minister calls for global AI policy for education

Estonian Education Minister Kristina Kallas urged Japan and other nations to form a coalition for global AI education policy, emphasizing AI should foster students' thinking rather than replace it. Estonia's AI Leap program uses a customized ChatGPT to encourage critical thinking, with early results showing students recognize risks of overreliance on AI. Kallas envisions smaller, more interactive classes supported by AI, requiring more teachers to promote analytical and creative skills.
