**[00:10:00]** so it's rigid, terrible, and so on.

**[00:10:02]** Vinče, I think nowadays it's actually a bigger problem than before.

**[00:10:06]** Because it's precisely because these technologies accelerate so much,

**[00:10:11]** how fast the world is changing.

**[00:10:15]** And if we look at a very simple recent statistic,

**[00:10:20]** 59% of Czechs don't know what deepfake is, meaning they haven't encountered the word.

**[00:10:26]** That's a lot.

**[00:10:28]** Because when I look at the concept of synthetic reality,

**[00:10:32]** and we teach it in the materials we have,

**[00:10:36]** it covers a transformed online space as we know it.

**[00:10:44]** Now, not everyone, but most of us have some social network.

**[00:10:51]** Most of us have multiple social networks according to some statistics,

**[00:10:55]** and we spend a significant amount of time on those social networks,

**[00:10:58]** but also online. We have smartwatches, we look at our phones,

**[00:11:03]** we turn on laptops, tablets, desktop computers, and so on.

**[00:11:07]** We are constantly interacting with the online world somewhere,

**[00:11:11]** receiving information from it, and to a huge extent, the online world shapes us.

**[00:11:17]** How we think, how we interact with our environment, with people around us, and so on.

**[00:11:25]** And here is our reality, which we can also call Plato's Cave 2.0,

**[00:11:30]** where we perceive what is happening there,

**[00:11:33]** this online reality can drastically change

**[00:11:40]** based on generative artificial intelligence.

**[00:11:43]** We've been interacting with AI for a long time regarding the online space on social networks.

**[00:11:52]** It's been almost a decade since we had so-called recommendation systems,

**[00:11:56]** which are AI systems that, based on some of our user interactions,

**[00:12:01]** recommend content to us.

**[00:12:03]** And even this has started to incredibly change how we perceive the world.

**[00:12:09]** You may have heard of terms like social bubbles, rabbit holes, echo chambers, and so on.

**[00:12:18]** When we interact with these systems, they try to offer us something,

**[00:12:22]** that they 'think' is relevant to us.

**[00:12:25]** And as a result, maybe our opinions don't shift much,

**[00:12:29]** because they serve us something that somehow suits us and so on.

**[00:12:33]** And now the recommendations vary; different social networks have different models,

**[00:12:38]** about who recommends content to us.

**[00:12:39]** And these models evolve as the technology develops.

**[00:12:43]** If you remember, when you could come to Facebook,

**[00:12:47]** I joined in 2009, if I’m not mistaken, or 2010, something like that,

**[00:12:53]** back then it worked so that you knew people from real life,

**[00:12:57]** you added them on Facebook, and you would see things here

**[00:13:02]** that those friends or people you added shared.

**[00:13:07]** Then it started to get a bit strange, because you might want to follow people

**[00:13:11]** you didn’t know personally, so if you added them, it was a bit like stalking,

**[00:13:15]** so networks emerged where you could follow people you didn’t know,

**[00:13:21]** like Instagram or Twitter, and it wasn’t weird to follow someone like that.

**[00:13:25]** Then it gradually changed over time, and now we consume a lot of content

**[00:13:30]** through so-called algorithmic recommendation models.

**[00:13:34]** This is the kind that no longer relies much on who our friends are,

**[00:13:39]** but rather recommends things based on interactions,

**[00:13:42]** like how long we watch a post, how long we read texts, and so on.

**[00:13:48]** And it changes very quickly; if people watch it, within minutes,

**[00:13:56]** or tens of minutes, up to 95% of the content we see can completely change,

**[00:14:01]** so it reacts very fast and is somewhat addictive,

**[00:14:06]** which is connected to all these things.

**[00:14:08]** At the same time, it means we see content close to us,

**[00:14:13]** we close ourselves into our own bubble, and now we’re finding out

**[00:14:17]** that even across generations we don’t understand each other at all,

**[00:14:20]** not because there’s a 50-year gap between us,

**[00:14:24]** but because there’s a 15-year gap,

**[00:14:26]** since we have completely different content in our bubbles.

**[00:14:30]** For example, I can’t discuss politics with my parents at all,

**[00:14:33]** because they get emails, I look at Facebook,

**[00:14:38]** and my son definitely doesn’t look at Facebook; he looks at Instagram.

**[00:14:41]** So we are basically completely different, and now into this environment,

**[00:14:47]** which has been here for a long time and we haven’t even gotten used to it,

**[00:14:51]** or we have, but we don’t really understand its impact,

**[00:14:55]** and the average person probably doesn’t think about it much,

**[00:14:59]** comes generative artificial intelligence, which can generate all kinds of content.

**[00:15:09]** It can generate images that we currently can’t tell are fake.

**[00:15:13]** For some, we clearly can tell, some people really pay attention,

**[00:15:16]** but I don’t know if you’ve tried any tests,

**[00:15:19]** there are small games now where you can try to guess

**[00:15:25]** which of two images is generated,

**[00:15:27]** I recommend you look up such a game; there are plenty on the internet.

**[00:15:31]** For example, I really can't tell anymore what's generated or not,

**[00:15:35]** so-called authentic or synthetic.

**[00:15:38]** And now synthetic reality, because the media that are generated

**[00:15:42]** are called synthetic media.

**[00:15:44]** Well, these are images, videos,

**[00:15:49]** which are even harder to create now,

**[00:15:52]** but despite that, given how fast the technology is advancing,

**[00:15:56]** in a year we'll be in a completely different place.

**[00:15:58]** There are texts, sounds, voices, music,

**[00:16:02]** 3D objects. We can basically generate almost anything

**[00:16:06]** and we can generate things from generated things.

**[00:16:08]** So now, for example, when someone generated an environment in Sora,

**[00:16:13]** which is from OpenAI, the video generator,

**[00:16:15]** some guy said it would be great if, using a technology

**[00:16:18]** called NERV, he could create a so-called mesh from the generated video,

**[00:16:21]** turning it into a 3D space.

**[00:16:25]** So I can totally imagine that in a year I'll generate something

**[00:16:29]** like a fantastic landscape in Sora, immediately make

**[00:16:33]** a 3D model or 3D objects from it, and move around in it using VR.

**[00:16:38]** The possibilities are truly unlimited.

**[00:16:42]** And the online space will start filling up with these things.

**[00:16:47]** Maybe for every, I don't know, version,

**[00:16:51]** of truth, we'll have something to show and so on.

**[00:16:55]** And now the online space will obviously have to respond technically

**[00:16:59]** so that we can actually prove

**[00:17:03]** what is authentic and what is synthetic.

**[00:17:07]** And now the question is, what is authentic on social networks.

**[00:17:12]** I honestly don't know, because if we talk

**[00:17:16]** about digital manipulation, just taking a selfie

**[00:17:20]** and then editing it, making my eyes bigger, smoothing my face,

**[00:17:24]** and improving my skin a bit, is that authentic?

**[00:17:28]** Some would say it bothers them, that it's not authentic.

**[00:17:32]** Others would say it's fine, and now the line is blurred.

**[00:17:36]** It's just on a scale from 0 to 100, from authentic to synthetic.

**[00:17:40]** Usually something in between.

**[00:17:44]** Everyone has their own boundary of what bothers them or not,

**[00:17:48]** what they consider manipulation or don't consider manipulation elsewhere.

**[00:17:52]** And now we find ourselves in a society

**[00:17:56]** where content is served to us based on how we interact

**[00:18:00]** and we stop or reach a point,

**[00:18:04]** where we no longer know if what we see is true.

**[00:18:08]** I just told Honza this.

**[00:18:12]** When that video of Elon Musk doing a Nazi salute started flying around the networks,

**[00:18:16]** I looked at it and thought it was fake.

**[00:18:20]** It just can't be that Elon Musk did that.

**[00:18:24]** It kept popping up on my screen, fifty times a day.

**[00:18:28]** I kept thinking it couldn't be true,

**[00:18:32]** that we weren't in some kind of Twilight Zone.

**[00:18:36]** He said, 'Did you see the video?' I said no, so I played it.

**[00:18:40]** And now I wonder if it's really a deepfake video.

**[00:18:44]** I'm experiencing this myself now.

**[00:18:48]** I'm in a social bubble where most people dislike Musk.

**[00:18:52]** Of course, this keeps circulating there.

**[00:18:56]** And now I don't know if I'm on the other side, being manipulated.

**[00:19:00]** It's a kind of uncertainty about what I see.

**[00:19:04]** That question of seeing the country from space.

**[00:19:08]** Classic.

**[00:19:12]** It's actually very hard

**[00:19:16]** to form a clear idea about the world around us,

**[00:19:20]** one I can say,

**[00:19:24]** 'This is the truth I can rely on.'

**[00:19:28]** And I call that synthetic reality.

**[00:19:32]** It's a question of how technology will respond to this.

**[00:19:36]** Whether we'll have Web 3.0 technologies,

**[00:19:40]** where blockchain will let us trace the source of a video.

**[00:19:44]** Or the internet will be ultra-regulated instead,

**[00:19:48]** where everyone has an identity

**[00:19:52]** linked to some bank or government system.

**[00:19:56]** We'll see.

**[00:20:00]** Anyway, the fact that 59%—not even 59% of people in this country think about

**[00:20:08]** such things happening and just consume content without reflection,

**[00:20:13]** seems really terrible to me.

**[00:20:19]** Now how to cope with this, what to do about it, and how to prepare ourselves and children for such a world.

**[00:20:30]** I'll go to the website and show what answers we have for children in EHE,

**[00:20:36]** or answers in the sense of how we try to mitigate the impacts of these technologies.

**[00:20:44]** Just to say, I'm a techno-optimist. For me, technology is truly a great thing,

**[00:20:49]** and I believe we can solve many problems we have with it,

**[00:20:53]** but at the same time, I strongly feel the negative impacts and think about them a lot,

**[00:20:59]** and I believe the only way to mitigate those negative impacts is

**[00:21:04]** so it's about talking about them and educating ourselves on what the impacts might be

**[00:21:09]** and thus having a society that is more educated and resilient to those impacts,

**[00:21:16]** at least a little, by a few percent, even though it will never be perfect.

**[00:21:21]** And our first response is the so-called artificial intelligence curriculum for primary and secondary schools.

**[00:21:27]** This is a project we've been working on for the last year and a half, and we finished it 20 days ago

**[00:21:33]** and I remember it very well because it was the most beautiful moment of my life.

**[00:21:40]** This work is very big and fundamental for me, though probably not as much for others,

**[00:21:48]** it contains 43 teaching materials.

**[00:21:51]** What are teaching materials? They are materials that guide teachers completely through a lesson.

**[00:21:57]** They give exact instructions on how to conduct the lesson, and the teacher can download the material

**[00:22:03]** and follow it exactly, or just use it as inspiration and bring it into their teaching.

**[00:22:10]** We have a so-called competency model there, and within that competency model

**[00:22:20]** we try to say what we think children should learn.

**[00:22:25]** Now, how I approached the creation, it’s not something created from scratch,

**[00:22:29]** or that I just decided to make a curriculum and invented it,

**[00:22:37]** or made it all up. It's not like that, we relied heavily

**[00:22:41]** or we based it on foreign research; such curricula already exist.

**[00:22:47]** It was striking that when we founded our initiative three years ago,

**[00:22:51]** Korea already had a full artificial intelligence curriculum for primary schools

**[00:22:56]** with educational content and it was already rolled out in schools.

**[00:22:59]** Korea is way ahead. Then others started to emerge,

**[00:23:03]** the American Day of AI curriculum, or the Experience AI curriculum,

**[00:23:07]** created by DeepMind and Raspberry Pi, all of these were

**[00:23:11]** very important models for me on how to approach this.

**[00:23:16]** At the same time, it also helped us a lot that in 2020

**[00:23:20]** many experts, mostly from American universities,

**[00:23:24]** started putting together the so-called Five Big Ideas,

**[00:23:27]** which is a very long, boring document about

**[00:23:30]** what children should know and when about artificial intelligence.

**[00:23:33]** That was a key reference point for us.

**[00:23:36]** So whenever I was creating this competency model,

**[00:23:40]** which is also largely based on the Korean curriculum,

**[00:23:43]** but adjusted based on our experiences,

**[00:23:47]** I also relied on the Day of AI.

**[00:23:51]** We divide the competency model into three main parts.

**[00:23:56]** It's nothing surprising.

**[00:23:58]** They are knowledge about AI, skills, and attitudes.

**[00:24:02]** The knowledge part mostly includes theoretical concepts.

**[00:24:08]** What artificial intelligence is, what machine learning is.

**[00:24:11]** And what data is used for, big data,

**[00:24:14]** that when we put some data into a machine learning model,

**[00:24:18]** it somehow learns from it and the model will be biased,

**[00:24:21]** because that's just how it is.

**[00:24:23]** We try to open up these completely theoretical things a lot in computer science.

**[00:24:29]** Because it fits there.

**[00:24:32]** But at the same time, I think it's necessary.

**[00:24:34]** Quite often, when I go to some teachers' meeting, I encounter that

**[00:24:37]** teachers don't really want to learn the theoretical stuff,

**[00:24:40]** because why, it's boring and all, but I don't think so.

**[00:24:44]** I think it's necessary to at least know the basics of

**[00:24:47]** how the thing works.

**[00:24:49]** Because if I don't know that, I don't know what kind of

**[00:24:53]** impact it might have on society, or I don't understand it.

**[00:24:55]** Also, by the way, my experience is

**[00:24:58]** that when I try to explain to people what artificial intelligence is,

**[00:25:02]** and these people don't have social media,

**[00:25:04]** the concept is really hard to explain to them for some reason.

**[00:25:08]** That's surprising.

**[00:25:10]** I won't go into details about AI knowledge here.

**[00:25:16]** If you happen to be interested,

**[00:25:18]** you can check out the website ai-curriculum.cz

**[00:25:21]** where the competency model is written.

**[00:25:23]** Then there are skills, which of course is nothing surprising,

**[00:25:26]** people keep talking about how we have some AI applications,

**[00:25:30]** so now we will learn to work with them and so on,

**[00:25:33]** everyone is rushing into ChatGPT and other chatbots.

**[00:25:37]** For me, it's not just about using those applications,

**[00:25:41]** although developing those skills is obviously very important,

**[00:25:44]** for me it's mainly about trying,

**[00:25:46]** because quite often teachers come and say,

**[00:25:48]** well, I don't understand it and now I feel stupid,

**[00:25:51]** because I haven't even opened it yet and so on.

**[00:25:53]** And I say, well, that doesn't matter at all,

**[00:25:55]** because those of us who have opened it,

**[00:25:57]** opened it two years ago,

**[00:25:59]** and there's not a huge difference,

**[00:26:01]** and the kids are really at the same level.

**[00:26:03]** And now we're all on a green field.

**[00:26:06]** No one knows, we're all figuring it out, we're all trying it.

**[00:26:10]** And whoever tries more, knows more.

**[00:26:12]** It's just clear. I dedicate the time, so I have it.

**[00:26:15]** So I always tell teachers, don't be afraid,

**[00:26:17]** just open it up,

**[00:26:19]** because that's the basic step

**[00:26:21]** and then it will somehow work out.

**[00:26:23]** So using artificial intelligence applications.

**[00:26:27]** And nowadays it's also a lot about how to combine them,

**[00:26:30]** because I have a different app for each thing,

**[00:26:33]** we're not yet at the point where we have systems

**[00:26:36]** that can do everything at once.

**[00:26:38]** So often the workflow itself is quite challenging,

**[00:26:41]** the pipeline of how to combine different things together,

**[00:26:44]** so that it's efficient and meaningful.

**[00:26:46]** And of course, I also encounter this a lot in schools,

**[00:26:50]** that it's like, 'Now we're just going to generate this.'

**[00:26:53]** For me, that's like, why?

**[00:26:57]** I actually need to have the educational goal,

**[00:27:00]** which is relevant to the children and moves them forward,

**[00:27:03]** whether in knowledge or skills,

**[00:27:05]** and only based on that do I choose

**[00:27:08]** which app and why I will use it.

**[00:27:10]** So it's not about the app, it's about the educational goal,

**[00:27:13]** and I use the app because it gets me to that educational goal

**[00:27:16]** faster, better, or in some way.

**[00:27:19]** So using artificial intelligence applications,

**[00:27:22]** but also creating them. I think that's important,

**[00:27:25]** to actually think about how to make such apps

**[00:27:28]** custom, let's say, for yourself.

**[00:27:31]** And today there are tools even for children,

**[00:27:34]** it's simply great, tools exist for everything,

**[00:27:37]** there's no problem with that. So the skills for using

**[00:27:40]** and at the same time creating these applications.

**[00:27:43]** And the last thing is attitude, and from my perspective, that's the most important.

**[00:27:46]** And I kind of need to have skills with these applications,

**[00:27:49]** and I also need to know how AI works,

**[00:27:53]** so I can form some kind of attitude towards it.

**[00:27:57]** And the basis for that is reflecting on data.

**[00:28:01]** You've surely heard 'data is the new oil,' blah blah blah.

**[00:28:05]** Probably. Data is all around us,

**[00:28:10]** and now different things are happening with it, not always ethical,

**[00:28:14]** You may have heard about the controversies surrounding

**[00:28:18]** the creation of these systems, that user data was used

**[00:28:22]** without their knowledge, and some people here might disagree with that,

**[00:28:26]** and so on. It basically exploits our human society,

**[00:28:30]** human mind, and so forth. So thinking about

**[00:28:34]** what is and isn't ethical data handling is very important.

**[00:28:38]** Not just now, but even more so today.

**[00:28:42]** Then there's the ethical creation and use of AI systems.

**[00:28:46]** I'll show one methodology that I find extremely important,

**[00:28:50]** because we all constantly interact with these technologies,

**[00:28:54]** and it's really a strong part of our daily reality,

**[00:28:59]** but even if we don't think about how and why

**[00:29:03]** we use these technologies, they can consume us. And that happens.

**[00:29:07]** It's like kids who are always glued to their phones,

**[00:29:11]** and adults are constantly on their phones too. It becomes

**[00:29:15]** less about consciously using technology

**[00:29:19]** for a purpose, and more about escaping from ourselves,

**[00:29:23]** others, or problems through technology.

**[00:29:28]** It's a new kind of addiction, very easy,

**[00:29:34]** like opening a bottle or lighting a cigarette.

**[00:29:38]** And that's not right. I believe technology needs to be

**[00:29:42]** used consciously. I don't always manage that myself.

**[00:29:46]** It consumes me too. But I try to think about it,

**[00:29:51]** and I try to prepare materials that make people

**[00:29:55]** reflect on this. And it's funny, I don't know if you know

**[00:30:00]** Mr. Hábl, who often bases his lectures on the fact that kids spend about 8,200 hours in elementary school.

**[00:30:10]** That's a lot. And I think school should be the place where these topics are primarily discussed.

**[00:30:16]** Of course, also at home. And there should be time for it at school.

**[00:30:22]** There should be discussions about whether technology still benefits me or not.

**[00:30:29]** There are various methods and strategies, which we try to include in the curriculum and provide materials for teachers,

**[00:30:40]** so they can talk about it during lessons. And the last part is about attitudes and evaluating the impact

**[00:30:45]** of AI on society and individuals, which is closely related.

**[00:30:52]** So that's what I think, or what you'll find in the curriculum, basically.

**[00:30:58]** Looking at the materials there, they follow the competency model.

**[00:31:08]** For example, we have these robots called UAP, with nine lessons for computer science from third grade up.

**[00:31:17]** These robots teach kids theoretical concepts. I think this is great for early grades,

**[00:31:24]** teaching kids how it works. We teach it just with pencil and paper, no technology,

**[00:31:32]** though it's recommended in the methodologies, but the methods don't rely on it.

**[00:31:37]** Because I believe kids shouldn't have much direct contact with technology in early grades,

**[00:31:42]** but should learn how it works. Of course, they do use it.

**[00:31:47]** But it just doesn't have to be as frequent as in the upper grades.

**[00:31:55]** So here we have some UAP robots and then we have computer science for upper grades and high schools,

**[00:32:06]** and here I will show the methodology about development and use of technologies.

**[00:32:12]** Whenever someone visits our website, they can actually download the methodology here,

**[00:32:17]** they can download the presentation too, no registration or payment required.

**[00:32:22]** They just come and download it. And this is what the methodologies look like.

**[00:32:26]** They are PDFs like this, always described as preparation for the teacher,

**[00:32:31]** explaining what the activities are about, what we want to achieve, and how to approach it.

**[00:32:36]** And we connect it, of course, to the national curriculum and so on.

**[00:32:40]** We try to pass on these things or guide teachers,

**[00:32:45]** or provide these instructions so that the kids enjoy it.

**[00:32:49]** So we base it on the so-called constructivist framework.

**[00:32:53]** That means we want, or see it as, that children don't come to school

**[00:32:58]** or to the lesson as a blank slate.

**[00:33:02]** We recognize that they already have some preconceptions or prerequisites,

**[00:33:06]** or simply some experience and knowledge about the topic.

**[00:33:10]** And what happens in the lesson is that we find out what the children know

**[00:33:14]** or what they think they know, and we develop it through some activity.

**[00:33:19]** Then at the end of the lesson, during Reflection, we try to anchor it into some structure,

**[00:33:25]** so that misconceptions are removed and the knowledge is deepened and well established,

**[00:33:30]** the things they brought into the lesson.

**[00:33:34]** We operate with a so-called three-phase learning model.

**[00:33:38]** That means we have an evocation phase where we find out what the children know.

**[00:33:42]** Then there is an awareness phase where something active happens.

**[00:33:46]** And then in Reflection, usually through some discussion, we talk about it.

**[00:33:51]** Here we have the methodology for ethical development and use of technologies.

**[00:33:59]** Within it, children work in the awareness phase with the so-called ethical matrix.

**[00:34:07]** It looks like this. It's a simple table and we can apply it to any topic.

**[00:34:15]** Here we recommend the topic of using mobile phones in class as personal devices.

**[00:34:21]** This is a hot topic. It's being talked about a lot right now.

**[00:34:24]** Maybe you've noticed a book that probably sparked this big discussion about

**[00:34:31]** whether it's okay for children to have or use their own devices at school.

**[00:34:37]** It has its pros and cons. Schools take different approaches.

**[00:34:41]** Some ban it completely; even Mr. Čunek in Vsetín, the founder,

**[00:34:47]** said no school there will use them, which was illegal.

**[00:34:52]** In some schools, they don't regulate it at all, or in others they say during lessons,

**[00:34:58]** if the teacher allows it, you can use them, but not during breaks,

**[00:35:02]** so kids don't stare at their phones all the time, and so on. It's just varied.

**[00:35:06]** But this topic interests a lot of people and they feel

**[00:35:10]** that parents and others are expressing their opinions about it.

**[00:35:14]** At the same time, I found this topic interesting because I assumed

**[00:35:18]** that children would have different opinions on it than teachers, school management,

**[00:35:23]** or parents, and so on. And this ethical matrix works like this,

**[00:35:27]** where children, for example 8th-9th graders, get this table,

**[00:35:34]** and they are asked to reflect on the issue,

**[00:35:38]** the use of mobile phones in schools

**[00:35:43]** from the perspective of different stakeholders. So here, students have to describe in order,

**[00:35:48]** how students view it, where they see positives and negatives,

**[00:35:53]** why they want it or don't want it. Then, how teachers and management might see it,

**[00:35:58]** how parents might see it,

**[00:36:01]** and also how the app or technology developer views it.

**[00:36:05]** Because if we think about it, each of these stakeholders

**[00:36:08]** has different interests and values. And this actually causes

**[00:36:13]** the mismatch that we have many technologies,

**[00:36:17]** which are not really for the target group. Because if we think about,

**[00:36:21]** I don't know, social networks, and now it's a very

**[00:36:26]** often mentioned cliché that developers obviously want

**[00:36:30]** us to be there as much as possible because they show us ads,

**[00:36:33]** that's what they say. This means that the interests and values of those

**[00:36:38]** who create the app don't always, very often,

**[00:36:43]** align with the interests of the target group.

**[00:36:46]** And what we should strive for is to develop technologies

**[00:36:49]** that benefit the target group. That would be the ideal state.

**[00:36:54]** Then we would use those technologies and they wouldn't take things away from us

**[00:36:57]** or cause dependencies and so on.

**[00:36:59]** But this doesn't happen because there is no conscious demand from us people

**[00:37:03]** for what kind of technologies we want

**[00:37:07]** very often. Because we don't talk about it, because we don't think about it.

**[00:37:11]** So this methodology is focused precisely on

**[00:37:15]** looking at this specific issue through the different eyes of various stakeholders

**[00:37:20]** and trying to maybe find

**[00:37:24]** some consensus within the school. We can then build on this

**[00:37:28]** in the school, for example by creating rules

**[00:37:32]** for usage that include the needs of each target group.

**[00:37:37]** Or maybe not the developers, but at least those

**[00:37:40]** who participate in the school. What's nice about this is

**[00:37:45]** that this ethical matrix can even be opened at the primary level.

**[00:37:49]** And there we have, for example, a model topic about eating sweets,

**[00:37:53]** where children reflect again from the perspective of children,

**[00:37:56]** the dentist, the parent, the grandmother, and so on.

**[00:38:01]** So it doesn't matter what topic this is applied to,

**[00:38:05]** but it's important to make the whole process conscious.

**[00:38:09]** As a society, we use technology, we are the ones who matter,

**[00:38:12]** because developers actually create it for us,

**[00:38:16]** and as a society, we have to decide what technology we want.

**[00:38:19]** And I think this is the absolute foundation of what we should actually discuss with kids in schools,

**[00:38:22]** because it leads exactly to awareness and at the same time to some kind of

**[00:38:26]** active attitude, which is very important precisely because

**[00:38:30]** we use technology so much in our lives.

**[00:38:34]** So that's one of the methodologies.

**[00:38:38]** Then we have others, for example methodologies

**[00:38:42]** for project-based learning, so we teach kids to create

**[00:38:46]** AI assistants within hackathons or teach them to generate

**[00:38:50]** images in Canva and transform their school using Canva,

**[00:38:54]** or we teach them to work with chatbots and so on.

**[00:38:58]** And I would also pause a bit there, but in a slightly different context.

**[00:39:02]** This is what I already touched on with one or two sentences

**[00:39:06]** at the beginning, that I often perceive in schools that when it is said

**[00:39:11]** that things are going to be generated, but often,

**[00:39:15]** the perception of generative artificial intelligence

**[00:39:19]** is quite shallow and also how to use it is shallow,

**[00:39:23]** because people don't know the methods to approach it in schools.

**[00:39:27]** So the educational goal that should be there,

**[00:39:31]** should actually be much more important than just

**[00:39:35]** the fact that something is being generated, but it often gets lost.

**[00:39:39]** That means we actually try to teach teachers

**[00:39:43]** that the most important thing is to have that goal,

**[00:39:49]** because I always say it everywhere.

**[00:39:53]** Whenever I enter a staff room, there is always one,

**[00:39:57]** but usually more, teachers who raise their hand and say,

**[00:40:00]** "But we have generative AI now and all the kids will get dumber."

**[00:40:05]** There are even studies now saying that as a society we will get dumber.

**[00:40:10]** Or teachers also feel that kids will cheat, I hear that absolutely everywhere.

**[00:40:15]** I understand that this is a completely relevant concern, but at the same time what I perceive so far is that

**[00:40:20]** educators often don't understand that it can be like that,

**[00:40:25]** but also that it is our responsibility as adults not to let it happen.

**[00:40:31]** That we actually have to work with these technologies so that this doesn't happen here,

**[00:40:38]** and there are methods and strategies for that, and they are actually quite simple.

**[00:40:43]** And we have them described here on this cheerful pink website Čet boti ve škole

**[00:40:53]** and we base it on a framework called the five levels of AI use.

**[00:40:59]** I really like it because it's very simple and easy to explain,

**[00:41:04]** and at the same time, it's very concrete.

**[00:41:06]** This five-level AI usage framework was created by Australian Leon Furze.

**[00:41:12]** I'm very happy that we recently secured funding to

**[00:41:15]** publish his book Practical Strategies for Integrating Artificial Intelligence into Education.

**[00:41:20]** In it, he describes this and says that we have some educational goal in the lesson,

**[00:41:29]** which can be, for example, a knowledge-oriented educational goal.

**[00:41:33]** For instance, wanting children to understand concepts like what machine learning is,

**[00:41:37]** or what flatworms are, or something like that.

**[00:41:41]** Then there can be an activity-oriented educational goal.

**[00:41:44]** So I want children to do something that leads them to some realization or understanding.

**[00:41:50]** Or I can have a competence-oriented educational goal.

**[00:41:54]** Where I want children to develop a competence, like communication,

**[00:41:59]** collaboration, or digital competence, it doesn't matter.

**[00:42:02]** There are eight key competences defined by the state.

**[00:42:08]** I have some educational goals here, and as a teacher, I can say,

**[00:42:14]** this is my short-term goal, where children should understand something in the lesson.

**[00:42:18]** Or I can have a long-term educational goal, tracking how children progress over a year,

**[00:42:23]** half a year, or even years, for example, introverted kids communicating more,

**[00:42:29]** or different things, or collaborating better.

**[00:42:34]** Based on that educational goal, I choose the form of teaching.

**[00:42:38]** So I might say I have an educational goal like

**[00:42:41]** I want children to learn to write and express their thoughts.

**[00:42:48]** And most likely, at this moment, I would use the level here

**[00:42:52]** where I do not use generative artificial intelligence,

**[00:42:56]** because I need the children to write themselves.

**[00:42:59]** Or I can choose the level of preparation with artificial intelligence,

**[00:43:04]** where I have a topic and tell children to generate,

**[00:43:11]** using a chatbot for example, an outline for that topic,

**[00:43:15]** or a mind map of what it includes.

**[00:43:17]** Some topics benefit from this approach in a completely different way, and often it can happen

**[00:43:22]** that children have some idea about a topic, but the topic is much broader,

**[00:43:26]** than their initial understanding. This means that in the learning process, it is beneficial,

**[00:43:32]** and this is important, that children expand their perception of the topic,

**[00:43:36]** when the chatbot generates the mind map for them.

**[00:43:39]** But the individual points, and this is what this level of AI use defines,

**[00:43:44]** they process themselves, thinking about it, writing it themselves,

**[00:43:47]** finding sources on Wikipedia, in books, etc.

**[00:43:51]** Another level is collaboration with artificial intelligence.

**[00:43:55]** So, for example, kids write something, like an essay or whatever,

**[00:43:59]** and they get feedback from a chatbot.

**[00:44:05]** They upload it and ask, hey, what could I improve for next time,

**[00:44:10]** or is something missing? Chatbots are fantastic for this,

**[00:44:14]** and the child's output ends up much better,

**[00:44:20]** without the teacher having to check everything manually.

**[00:44:23]** The teacher actually gets something much better,

**[00:44:26]** because the kids receive feedback during the lesson.

**[00:44:29]** The feedback is personalized, and based on that,

**[00:44:33]** they can choose to revise what they did or not, and then submit

**[00:44:37]** the assignment, which is better. Or it can be better.

**[00:44:41]** Then there's level E without limits, which is when, as a teacher,

**[00:44:46]** I don't care at all how the kids arrive at the output.

**[00:44:51]** There's also some freedom in that. It's all about thinking

**[00:44:56]** about the educational goal, and it's one of the approaches.

**[00:45:02]** And the last, fifth one is exploring AI.

**[00:45:05]** If you use chatbots, you know they're better in some areas,

**[00:45:11]** worse in others, and this changes quite quickly over time.

**[00:45:15]** For example, they used to lie a lot in math, or if you compare

**[00:45:20]** grammar, like if we want parts of speech in Czech

**[00:45:24]** or some other grammar aspect in English, it might be much better in English,

**[00:45:29]** and so on, because there's more data in English.

**[00:45:33]** So it's about the teacher exploring together with the kids

**[00:45:37]** where these generative AI tools can be beneficial in certain domains.

**[00:45:41]** It's about discussing, sharing examples, good practices,

**[00:45:46]** and moving forward together in effectively using

**[00:45:50]** chatbots, image generators, or any kind of generators.

**[00:45:53]** Now, a lot of these topics come up, like,

**[00:45:57]** what if kids stop submitting assignments they wrote themselves,

**[00:46:03]** because we can't check if they just generated them?

**[00:46:08]** And yes, it happens, of course it happens. Those are the funny examples

**[00:46:13]** teachers tell me, like kids submitting work with phrases like,

**[00:46:18]** "ChatGPT says, yes, I am happy to help you."

**[00:46:21]** You know they didn't even read or look at it.

**[00:46:24]** It happens, but I think it happens simply because

**[00:46:27]** the teacher doesn't approach it systematically,

**[00:46:32]** the school doesn't approach it systematically.

**[00:46:38]** Because even when I meet teachers who do approach it systematically,

**[00:46:48]** That means, for example, they created rules in their class

**[00:46:51]** for using generative artificial intelligence,

**[00:46:53]** they said it should be cited somehow, that they would talk about it, and so on,

**[00:46:57]** but often the school doesn't approach it that way.

**[00:47:00]** Like every dog follows its own path.

**[00:47:02]** Some teachers forbid it, others don't even know it exists.

**[00:47:06]** And now the kids are creating their own strategies,

**[00:47:09]** like using it in physics here and in Czech there, and so on.

**[00:47:12]** It's kind of a mess, and I think the kids don't even feel comfortable with it,

**[00:47:16]** because some teachers see it as cheating, others don't care.

**[00:47:20]** So I advocate the theory that there's a need to think about it

**[00:47:26]** in the whole school environment, and even with the parents,

**[00:47:29]** because they often say kids should or shouldn't use it.

**[00:47:35]** Everyone has very strong opinions on this topic.

**[00:47:38]** It's hard to work with it if the community doesn't discuss it

**[00:47:43]** and the opinions aren't refined.

**[00:47:46]** Then it's about setting rules, and now we're discovering them together

**[00:47:51]** and changing the rules, which should be at least somewhat consensual.

**[00:47:56]** Then it's no longer about kids cheating.

**[00:47:59]** It's about whether we use it or not, as long as we agree on it.

**[00:48:06]** And we agreed.

**[00:48:08]** Now we share how we used it, what benefits it brought, etc.

**[00:48:13]** We move forward and actively look for ways to make it beneficial.

**[00:48:19]** Then it's no longer about whether kids will get dumber or cheat.

**[00:48:23]** It's simply about actively making sure that doesn't happen.

**[00:48:29]** And that seems really important to me.

**[00:48:32]** At the same time, it's something that's a bit difficult to pass on and even harder to implement,

**[00:48:37]** because I always encounter in schools that as soon as there is,

**[00:48:43]** or isn't, a pedagogical leader, a principal who really tries and has a vision,

**[00:48:50]** it falls apart into some kind of bubble,

**[00:48:53]** which doesn't work as it should.

**[00:49:00]** Well, I still have 13 minutes.

**[00:49:04]** So I'll move on to the last thing we're working on,

**[00:49:08]** because what we do is that we created a curriculum

**[00:49:11]** where we provide guidelines.

**[00:49:13]** Now I'm trying to put together databases of didactic methods

**[00:49:17]** on how to use generative artificial intelligence regardless of the subject,

**[00:49:22]** regardless of anything.

**[00:49:25]** We also have 25 trainers who visit schools in all regions,

**[00:49:29]** because we find that actually without it,

**[00:49:32]** if we don't meet those people, the change doesn't really happen.

**[00:49:37]** Or actually, I didn't say something important at the beginning,

**[00:49:40]** that we strive for systemic change through what we do.

**[00:49:43]** Because for us, these are partial activities,

**[00:49:46]** that put these pieces together.

**[00:49:49]** Basically about how to at least partly contribute to making

**[00:49:53]** the education system work a bit better here.

**[00:49:56]** And so that the kids simply...

**[00:50:00]** are at least somewhat prepared for the world.

**[00:50:04]** So these are pieces like curriculum, instructions, and other materials,

**[00:50:09]** which we create for adult education and so on.

**[00:50:12]** Then there is training, so we focus on pedagogical faculties,

**[00:50:17]** and now at Charles University, starting in March, we will run the second round of a course

**[00:50:25]** for future teachers, where we teach them very practical things,

**[00:50:29]** what AI is and so on, but mainly how to use it in preparation,

**[00:50:33]** how to use it in lessons, and just these things, so it is beneficial.

**[00:50:38]** So I hope that once this course is completed,

**[00:50:42]** we will also involve other pedagogical faculties,

**[00:50:45]** so the course will start to expand further,

**[00:50:48]** even though universities are already creating their own courses,

**[00:50:52]** we just want to contribute pedagogically,

**[00:50:56]** because I think we have some expertise in that.

**[00:51:00]** And the last thing, which is very important to me,

**[00:51:03]** but I don't talk about it much, even though we've been building it for a year,

**[00:51:07]** is the Tajny app, because we visit many schools.

**[00:51:14]** There we talk with people about what they need.

**[00:51:16]** Actually, I think the most important thing about our nonprofit is that

**[00:51:20]** we talk a lot with the target group and create things based on their needs.

**[00:51:25]** I think that's really the core of how we operate.

**[00:51:30]** And what I identified in schools is the following one single finding.

**[00:51:36]** Teachers don't have data. From my point of view, we teach inefficiently.

**[00:51:41]** Because if I take a model classroom and summarize it into an average,

**[00:51:52]** we have about 4,270 primary schools in the Czech Republic or something like that.

**[00:51:59]** On average, there are 20 children per class, because many schools have up to 150 students.

**[00:52:07]** More than half. These are the rural schools with fewer children and so on.

**[00:52:11]** And we have 8% of children whose mother tongue is not Czech.

**[00:52:18]** Then there is a fairly large percentage of children, which I just forgot,

**[00:52:22]** it was about 15%, who have some special educational needs,

**[00:52:25]** ADHD or are somewhere on the spectrum. And now inclusion has come,

**[00:52:29]** where these children go to regular classes and we don't always have, for example,

**[00:52:35]** a teaching assistant who helps during the lesson.

**[00:52:38]** So, to sum up, we have a teacher who might be alone with the children,

**[00:52:46]** but there are children who need more support than the others.

**[00:52:50]** So the teacher mainly pays attention to those children.

**[00:52:53]** Or it doesn't have to be children who need support.

**[00:52:56]** They might be children who raise their hands or, frankly, misbehave and so on.

**[00:53:02]** So often the teacher comes into the classroom and now focuses on those children,

**[00:53:07]** who need support or are more active, etc.

**[00:53:10]** And a large percentage of the children in the class are actually unnoticed.

**[00:53:15]** Now, looking at it from an IT perspective,

**[00:53:18]** there are on average two teachers per school,

**[00:53:29]** teaching IT, and on average there are 140 children in the upper grades.

**[00:53:34]** That means one teacher teaches 80 children IT once a week and sees them.

**[00:53:42]** And now they go into the lesson and might not even remember their names.

**[00:53:47]** And now it's about how the teacher can know what the children need.

**[00:53:53]** How to help in the learning process.

**[00:53:56]** It's just not possible, they don't have the capacity.

**[00:53:59]** And I think this can be solved technologically, and that's what tajny is for.

**[00:54:04]** Tajny is an app, its name means tiny or small in Czech,

**[00:54:09]** because we want to support human interaction.

**[00:54:14]** We don't want children to spend too much time with technology during the lesson,

**[00:54:19]** looking at computers; we want them to talk and share opinions.

**[00:54:23]** So children spend a small amount of time with the app during the lesson,

**[00:54:27]** and it's a small helper with a big impact.

**[00:54:30]** Tajny is meant to,

**[00:54:34]** well, not yet,

**[00:54:37]** it will take us a few more Fridays,

**[00:54:42]** but it should provide teachers with data.

**[00:54:47]** Because we keep talking about, in the context of collective intelligence,

**[00:54:52]** some huge personalization of education is coming, and everything will be personalized.

**[00:54:55]** But there are smaller steps leading to that, and I don't see them yet.

**[00:55:00]** Having ChatGPT is great, it helps me as a teacher with preparation and so on,

**[00:55:03]** I can use it somehow during lessons.

**[00:55:06]** But real personalization isn't happening,

**[00:55:08]** because these aren't the right tools.

**[00:55:13]** To get there, we need to monitor the student long-term.

**[00:55:18]** We need to understand their motivation, what they enjoy,

**[00:55:23]** how they learn, what they know, what competencies they have developed.

**[00:55:27]** That means we need a lot of data about the child.

**[00:55:32]** And we must do it ethically, of course, but only then does true personalization come.

**[00:55:36]** We are here now like in standard education,

**[00:55:39]** where all children learn the same things in the lesson.

**[00:55:43]** We measure them all by the same standard.

**[00:55:47]** We give a test, grade one to five, and expect minimum knowledge.

**[00:55:53]** And then we know some are further ahead,

**[00:55:57]** so we have a slightly different level there, but still within some standards.

**[00:56:01]** We don't have personalization.

**[00:56:03]** And now often, when people say personalization,

**[00:56:05]** they imagine everyone immediately learning completely different things.

**[00:56:10]** I don't think that's realistic.

**[00:56:12]** I think the real personalization,

**[00:56:14]** which is currently realistic and can have a big impact,

**[00:56:17]** is personalized feedback.

**[00:56:19]** Because here we're talking about some kind of assessment.

**[00:56:22]** And assessment can be divided into so-called summative and so-called formative.

**[00:56:26]** Summative is when I give children a test at the end and then calculate a grade.

**[00:56:30]** From my point of view, it's ineffective.

**[00:56:32]** Why would I do that?

**[00:56:33]** Why would I say you're a C student, or an A student, or an F student?

**[00:56:37]** Sure, okay, it's necessary to measure somehow.

**[00:56:40]** But what I think actually moves children forward in the learning process,

**[00:56:45]** is the feedback I need.

**[00:56:47]** Which is not a one or a five.

**[00:56:49]** It's just something like...

**[00:56:50]** Look, you're calculating really slowly right now.

**[00:56:53]** And that's exactly because you're counting on your fingers.

**[00:56:55]** Try it another way.

**[00:56:56]** That's the kind of feedback.

**[00:56:58]** Come learn this.

**[00:56:59]** And you can do it like this.

**[00:57:01]** And we can actually personalize that feedback

**[00:57:05]** for each child.

**[00:57:07]** To support them in the learning process.

**[00:57:10]** To really help that child.

**[00:57:12]** And it leads to a relatively long path.

**[00:57:14]** And then we can also talk about so-called differentiation,

**[00:57:18]** where each child receives educational material at once,

**[00:57:24]** which is more suited to them.

**[00:57:25]** We have some theories, the zone of proximal development.

**[00:57:29]** Because you can only learn what you are just reaching.

**[00:57:33]** Not what you are three steps ahead of.

**[00:57:36]** An old, described thing from the 1960s, I think.

**[00:57:41]** So the idea is that we only offer the child what

**[00:57:45]** they are currently ready for.

**[00:57:48]** And even the teacher can't do that.

**[00:57:50]** So with this application, we try

**[00:57:52]** to make the learning process more efficient, but very gently.

**[00:57:55]** In the feedback, in the slight differentiation,

**[00:57:58]** we have the same topic, the same learning context,

**[00:58:01]** the same lesson, the same subject, for example,

**[00:58:04]** but we give the children something where they will experience

**[00:58:08]** the right balance of success and failure,

**[00:58:10]** so they continue effectively in the learning process,

**[00:58:13]** and so we don't have to fight so hard with motivation in schools,

**[00:58:16]** and all teachers share this with me, it's a huge struggle.

**[00:58:20]** The kids just don't care about what we teach them, it doesn't matter to them.

**[00:58:24]** Partly because it's outside their context,

**[00:58:26]** because of intergenerational differences and so on.

**[00:58:29]** And we actually need to awaken motivation in those kids,

**[00:58:32]** and I think that this is the way

**[00:58:34]** we can actually do it.

**[00:58:37]** So we measure,

**[00:58:40]** or try to measure and map out,

**[00:58:43]** what the kids come with,

**[00:58:46]** we want to give feedback, we want to provide data to educators,

**[00:58:50]** so they can see where the kids need help,

**[00:58:54]** but it's only a supplement.

**[00:58:56]** Ideally, the teacher should also know the kids,

**[00:58:59]** but it doesn't always work out,

**[00:59:01]** and the system isn't always set up that way,

**[00:59:03]** so it's possible.

**[00:59:05]** And maybe in the future,

**[00:59:07]** when we have enough data

**[00:59:09]** and enough educational content,

**[00:59:11]** and the systems are so good,

**[00:59:13]** that they can even generate,

**[00:59:15]** we want to provide fully personalized

**[00:59:18]** feedback educational content for kids,

**[00:59:20]** who are interested in a certain topic,

**[00:59:22]** but no longer get it at school,

**[00:59:24]** so we're moving from school

**[00:59:26]** maybe later to some kind of homeschooling.

**[00:59:29]** And of course, there should be a chatbot,

**[00:59:32]** that helps children with learning,

**[00:59:34]** which is already kind of a standard today.

**[00:59:37]** Right now, we are focusing

**[00:59:39]** only on curriculum methodologies,

**[00:59:42]** these will be educational contents in the app,

**[00:59:45]** mainly media studies,

**[00:59:48]** and computer science more or less.

**[00:59:50]** For the other subjects,

**[00:59:52]** we only have one lesson each,

**[00:59:54]** so it doesn't really make sense.

**[00:59:56]** Also financial literacy

**[00:59:58]** and now global education.

**[01:00:00]** on topics, but we will try to gather quality educational content so we can expand

**[01:00:08]** to as many subjects and topics as possible.

**[01:00:12]** Well, we are currently developing this app, although after a year of development we are still relatively at the beginning,

**[01:00:18]** because it is very hard to have relevant data on what children actually take away from the lesson.

**[01:00:24]** AI can help with that, it doesn't have to be only AI, it can also be quizzes, just those old school methods,

**[01:00:31]** but we are looking for ways to combine them to get the right data on

**[01:00:39]** how we can really help children. So, okay.

**[01:00:45]** Thanks. Now I'll come to you.

**[01:00:47]** There are a lot of questions, so just a reminder, if you want to ask something,

**[01:01:01]** even you there in magenta, please do it through the Slido app. Listening to you,

**[01:01:10]** I wonder what the difference is between teaching AI to children and AI to adults.

**[01:01:17]** And when I saw the competency model, I immediately wrote down,

**[01:01:22]** that any company can take it and just apply it to their educational program.

**[01:01:30]** What do you think?

**[01:01:32]** I think here we operate with the term 'literate person'.

**[01:01:38]** And I think it should be every person.

**[01:01:40]** Something like that.

**[01:01:42]** I actually think, and you even changed it, that we are all really at the same starting line.

**[01:01:50]** Everything changes every six months, again and again.

**[01:01:54]** We recently talked about this with Dita Formanka, with Čekita, with Michal,

**[01:02:02]** that the trains just keep coming and coming and coming.

**[01:02:08]** And that idea of 'I won't live to see it, it doesn't concern me anymore, I'm too old for it'.

**[01:02:15]** That no longer applies at all, now you just have to wait,

**[01:02:20]** the train arrives, you get on, and that's exactly what you wrote about, it's about attitudes,

**[01:02:25]** it's about skills, about trying things out simply.

**[01:02:30]** I'm from Chodová okolnost, and yesterday I had an interesting story with my kid,

**[01:02:34]** because he came in totally excited that he chose a presentation about walrus ice,

**[01:02:41]** and that now he's going to make a walrus ice presentation at school.

**[01:02:44]** And I couldn't help myself, so I looked into it and we talked about it for a bit,

**[01:02:51]** and he showed me the gifs she put there, all that stuff.

**[01:02:53]** And I said, hey, now I'm hitting on those five things you put there,

**[01:02:59]** and I said, what if I asked, say, ChatGPT,

**[01:03:04]** try it, just ask it about walrus ice, maybe it knows, stuff like that.

**[01:03:08]** So I tried it, and this happened.

**[01:03:10]** I said, do you know there's an app that can make the whole presentation from A to Z?

**[01:03:15]** So I just gave him gamma.ep and now he was totally amazed and said,

**[01:03:21]** wow, this is awesome.

**[01:03:23]** Then the older one came in, and he already knew,

**[01:03:26]** he was hearing the dollar signs and said,

**[01:03:29]** ah, that's good, I've already seen how to cheat.

**[01:03:32]** And now I'm actually wondering if I did the right or wrong thing,

**[01:03:36]** because obviously he's trading off some skill from it,

**[01:03:41]** he probably won't learn much about walrus ice, or maybe he will, but he'll learn other skills instead.

**[01:03:46]** So I always think, as a parent and teacher, how to actually approach it.

**[01:03:52]** Whether to go this way or that way.

**[01:03:55]** So I think this is a dilemma every teacher really has in every school.

**[01:03:59]** But I don't think it's a dilemma.

**[01:04:01]** What they did is, in my opinion, totally fine,

**[01:04:03]** because they would have figured it out anyway.

**[01:04:05]** The problem is, it doesn't end here.

**[01:04:07]** You show Gamma AI, say how great it is,

**[01:04:09]** let yourself be fooled a few times at first,

**[01:04:12]** so you get that good feel,

**[01:04:14]** then you say, okay, but look what you learned about walrus ice.

**[01:04:17]** And you wanted to know something about walrus ice.

**[01:04:19]** Because so far there's motivation, he wants to know about walrus ice.

**[01:04:21]** That he has a tool for it is great.

**[01:04:23]** But that gets old.

**[01:04:25]** But he wants to know about walrus ice.

**[01:04:27]** And that's actually another point,

**[01:04:29]** that came to me in the context of,

**[01:04:31]** when I compared kids with companies,

**[01:04:33]** that in companies we often just need to check the box.

**[01:04:37]** That we actually don't need to,

**[01:04:39]** or don't want to learn much.

**[01:04:41]** That I actually need to make that presentation,

**[01:04:43]** like send it somewhere to the boss and stuff.

**[01:04:45]** So it's actually a bit,

**[01:04:47]** like a different motivation,

**[01:04:49]** when the kid comes with those sparks in their eyes,

**[01:04:51]** that the walrus is something

**[01:04:53]** they really should know about.

**[01:04:55]** So you let them be and don't say,

**[01:04:57]** but that's nonsense, this and that.

**[01:04:59]** But in companies, we really focus a lot on performance.

**[01:05:01]** So those apps, in my opinion,

**[01:05:03]** I wonder what role they have

**[01:05:05]** in terms of education and learning.

**[01:05:07]** Because that's exactly where we want it

**[01:05:09]** quick, done, so we can preferably

**[01:05:11]** just leave and not deal with things at all.

**[01:05:13]** And yet learning

**[01:05:15]** is important.

**[01:05:17]** So I don't know. Let's probably

**[01:05:19]** go to questions, as I said,

**[01:05:21]** their bazillion.

**[01:05:23]** Kristýna asks,

**[01:05:25]** how to check,

**[01:05:27]** how big was

**[01:05:29]** the level of cooperation between the student and AI?

**[01:05:31]** Well, talk about it.

**[01:05:33]** And it's about the fact that I then have to

**[01:05:35]** slightly change the flow of the lesson.

**[01:05:37]** And take time for

**[01:05:39]** us to talk. Which is a kind of

**[01:05:41]** mindset shift that's not easy.

**[01:05:43]** I think for many teachers, suddenly

**[01:05:45]** we're not negotiating the subject, but talking about some

**[01:05:47]** thing like this. And I'm not saying,

**[01:05:49]** that it has to be every lesson, but why

**[01:05:51]** not?

**[01:05:53]** Just talking about it is

**[01:05:55]** fundamental because it moves everyone forward.

**[01:05:57]** I think that

**[01:05:59]** and I wasn't

**[01:06:03]** not much in other schools,

**[01:06:05]** than teachers talking

**[01:06:07]** with the kids there.

**[01:06:09]** But

**[01:06:11]** is that the usual standard?

**[01:06:13]** I don't know.

**[01:06:17]** I guess it's assumed that we

**[01:06:19]** or we go to some schools that are considered

**[01:06:21]** more progressive than others.

**[01:06:23]** I assume so.

**[01:06:25]** And it also depends on the teacher.

**[01:06:27]** That's really pure frontal teaching.

**[01:06:29]** And now there's also a need

**[01:06:31]** to say that, for example, the average age

**[01:06:33]** of a Czech teacher is somewhere

**[01:06:35]** between 41 and 50 years.

**[01:06:37]** That's the largest group

**[01:06:39]** of such teachers.

**[01:06:41]** And these teachers

**[01:06:43]** have been teaching for a long time

**[01:06:45]** and have their own

**[01:06:47]** established methods.

**[01:06:49]** Because it's not easy during the lesson.

**[01:06:51]** And five days a week on top of that.

**[01:06:53]** That's really intense for me. I couldn't do it.

**[01:06:55]** I admire it.

**[01:06:57]** But when I do it for a few years,

**[01:06:59]** I get into a rhythm, I feel somewhat comfortable.

**[01:07:01]** And suddenly to start doing it

**[01:07:03]** differently is a bit

**[01:07:05]** challenging.

**[01:07:07]** And that's the whole discipline.

**[01:07:09]** Transferring new things into practice.

**[01:07:11]** Even if they're trained in something,

**[01:07:13]** it ends up with, "Johnny did this,"

**[01:07:15]** and "we didn't finish anything again."

**[01:07:17]** So it's tough.

**[01:07:19]** So I don't always see that

**[01:07:21]** it's anything other than frontal teaching.

**[01:07:23]** But it depends.

**[01:07:25]** For example, it's better in that first introductory one.

**[01:07:27]** Because there's more space there.

**[01:07:29]** And by the second one, we're already rushing like a kid tying shoes.

**[01:07:33]** I have a parallel.

**[01:07:35]** When I actually talked with people,

**[01:07:37]** who do corporate training.

**[01:07:39]** If I take it back again,

**[01:07:43]** I remember a sentence

**[01:07:45]** from a person who does facilitation.

**[01:07:49]** And he told me, look, I exactly started like this,

**[01:07:51]** companies hired me for workshops.

**[01:07:53]** And I just went at people for five hours,

**[01:07:55]** doing this and that. I was always

**[01:07:57]** sweaty and exhausted.

**[01:07:59]** And now I've gotten into a role,

**[01:08:01]** where I just give them a task. They sit down

**[01:08:03]** in groups.

**[01:08:05]** They discuss things.

**[01:08:07]** I'm just there, helping a bit.

**[01:08:09]** I ask them for reflection.

**[01:08:11]** I'm completely calm, totally relaxed.

**[01:08:13]** The people are excited because they're solving their own problems.

**[01:08:21]** They can educate this way.

**[01:08:23]** By involving the group.

**[01:08:25]** They don't interfere much.

**[01:08:27]** They're just a support system.

**[01:08:29]** They create the environment.

**[01:08:31]** And this is probably how it should look with this too.

**[01:08:33]** This is how the teacher's role is defined.

**[01:08:35]** A person who creates an environment

**[01:08:37]** so children can learn well in it.

**[01:08:39]** And acts as a mentor.

**[01:08:41]** So of course, that would be great.

**[01:08:43]** But I need to pass on

**[01:08:45]** a certain amount of knowledge.

**[01:08:47]** And now the RVP no longer says,

**[01:08:49]** it must be this and that and the other.

**[01:08:51]** Not always. Maybe in some subjects.

**[01:08:53]** But it's more flexible now.

**[01:08:55]** So I think even teachers

**[01:08:57]** They can celebrate that a little.

**[01:08:59]** But if you know your field,

**[01:09:01]** you have that knowledge and think

**[01:09:03]** that everyone is important.

**[01:09:05]** You touched on that a bit.

**[01:09:07]** And I also wanted to get to

**[01:09:09]** the framework educational programs.

**[01:09:11]** Because many people really think

**[01:09:13]** that it's some kind of stretch.

**[01:09:15]** But good teachers

**[01:09:17]** find their place in it.

**[01:09:19]** And they are actually able to do it.

**[01:09:21]** I even heard from people

**[01:09:23]** who know about it that the framework educational programs

**[01:09:25]** are quite good here.

**[01:09:27]** That it's not complete nonsense.

**[01:09:29]** For example, I saw something about

**[01:09:31]** children should learn computer science,

**[01:09:33]** but they should also learn

**[01:09:35]** how to handle a phone

**[01:09:37]** and other things.

**[01:09:39]** But computer science isn't tied

**[01:09:41]** to how it should look.

**[01:09:43]** The teacher can put their own

**[01:09:45]** creativity and everything that is

**[01:09:47]** trendy and so on.

**[01:09:49]** For me, the first reaction to the framework educational programs

**[01:09:51]** is that they really aren't nonsense.

**[01:09:53]** I'm like that about it.

**[01:09:55]** And now we've gone through a revision

**[01:09:57]** on December 30th of last year.

**[01:10:00]** The ministry said it was approved,

**[01:10:04]** the new framework educational program.

**[01:10:06]** It no longer even lists specific subjects,

**[01:10:09]** like you should learn this or that.

**[01:10:11]** It's often about competencies and such.

**[01:10:14]** And it really doesn't restrict schools.

**[01:10:17]** Nor the individual teacher, and what you just mentioned about computer science,

**[01:10:21]** that was a big stumbling block.

**[01:10:24]** In the sense that there was a so-called small revision before this big revision.

**[01:10:28]** And in that small revision, the field of computer science changed,

**[01:10:32]** because before that small revision,

**[01:10:35]** computer science was taught exactly as Word, Excel, and those things.

**[01:10:39]** That's just how it was.

**[01:10:40]** Then after the revision, it was said that in computer science, Word and Excel are no longer taught,

**[01:10:45]** instead, children learn to think computationally.

**[01:10:48]** So they learn programming, algorithms,

**[01:10:51]** they learn about information systems, spreadsheets, and so on,

**[01:10:54]** a big topic.

**[01:10:55]** They learn about data and modeling and such.

**[01:11:00]** And besides those computer science classes,

**[01:11:04]** digital competencies will be developed, and that's the crux of the matter.

**[01:11:08]** Because suddenly, teachers who weren't used to using computers before,

**[01:11:12]** were told, look, Word and Excel are no longer taught in computer science,

**[01:11:16]** now you'll teach those in history, Czech, and so on.

**[01:11:20]** And those teachers basically had no strategy on how to do it.

**[01:11:24]** So many teachers basically said no.

**[01:11:28]** And now that small revision was some time ago,

**[01:11:33]** and now children started graduating from those schools,

**[01:11:36]** and in some schools, computer science teachers took on teaching those computational skills,

**[01:11:43]** but the others didn't pick up on the digital competencies,

**[01:11:46]** so these kids from elementary schools came to high schools,

**[01:11:50]** and at those high schools, the teachers started struggling,

**[01:11:52]** because they said they didn't even know how to open a presentation,

**[01:11:56]** because no one taught them, they thought computationally but couldn't open a presentation.

**[01:11:59]** And now some kids didn't open the presentation,

**[01:12:02]** and some kids at the high school opened the presentation many times.

**[01:12:05]** So basically, the teacher at the high school

**[01:12:08]** started doing nothing else but spending the first year getting the kids on the same page,

**[01:12:12]** so they could function similarly, and now again,

**[01:12:15]** there was pressure on the computer science teachers,

**[01:12:18]** saying, you have to teach Word and Excel,

**[01:12:21]** because otherwise it won't work.

**[01:12:23]** And now into this whole environment,

**[01:12:26]** AI suddenly burst in and said,

**[01:12:29]** digital competence is something completely different.

**[01:12:31]** It's not Word, Excel, it's generative AI, sorry.

**[01:12:35]** So we're in this, it's not easy.

**[01:12:38]** Well, I think we all heard you clearly.

**[01:12:42]** Many kids will be much further with AI than the teachers.

**[01:12:46]** Wouldn't it be good to involve children so that they come up with AI in Czech

**[01:12:49]** and so that children teach the teachers?

**[01:12:51]** That would be nice.

**[01:12:53]** I think it's not about children teaching teachers,

**[01:12:56]** it's really about discovering together

**[01:12:58]** and that teachers should just say they don't know.

**[01:13:01]** Well, children are fine with that.

**[01:13:03]** Children don't know. If the teacher doesn't see it, the child does.

**[01:13:06]** And my experience is,

**[01:13:08]** for me, when I started teaching, I'm not a teacher,

**[01:13:11]** but when I was at school,

**[01:13:13]** I always went into the school thinking,

**[01:13:16]** this is how it is, and now I will tell the children exactly that.

**[01:13:18]** And then suddenly I didn't know,

**[01:13:20]** because technology, of course.

**[01:13:22]** And it was really hard for me to say I don't know.

**[01:13:24]** It was hard for me.

**[01:13:26]** Then I started saying I don't know,

**[01:13:28]** because the children's eyes always lit up.

**[01:13:30]** And they said, I know.

**[01:13:32]** It was just great. And suddenly

**[01:13:34]** the lesson worked better.

**[01:13:36]** Well, I think you're exactly getting

**[01:13:38]** back to companies,

**[01:13:40]** where the big boys and girls,

**[01:13:42]** who run those companies,

**[01:13:44]** I don't know, have forgotten.

**[01:13:46]** And now it's hard for them to rediscover it

**[01:13:48]** and they will have to.

**[01:13:50]** And often we encounter,

**[01:13:52]** hey, do the digital transformation.

**[01:13:54]** We're actually totally fine.

**[01:13:56]** You tell us, so you guys,

**[01:13:58]** who should be showing the way.

**[01:14:00]** Well.

**[01:14:02]** That's kind of a thing,

**[01:14:04]** we often struggle with there.

**[01:14:08]** Katka's question

**[01:14:10]** is very interesting. Aren't you afraid

**[01:14:12]** that using AI in schools could lead to

**[01:14:14]** to the rise of much more sophisticated forms of bullying?

**[01:14:18]** That's a topic we address in media education

**[01:14:20]** and cybersecurity.

**[01:14:22]** There, it's like,

**[01:14:24]** actually,

**[01:14:26]** I don't consider generative AI the biggest

**[01:14:28]** villain in this context,

**[01:14:30]** because

**[01:14:32]** most people don't consider WhatsApp a social

**[01:14:34]** network, at least us adults don't,

**[01:14:36]** so kids already have it on their phones,

**[01:14:38]** even in elementary school, and since they

**[01:14:40]** don't know how to communicate properly,

**[01:14:42]** it just happens in those groups.

**[01:14:44]** And now the technology

**[01:14:46]** supports that. I can create a group in

**[01:14:48]** seconds and invite

**[01:14:50]** three classmates to hate on someone there.

**[01:14:52]** Exactly. And now, with things like fake accounts,

**[01:14:54]** that's quite common now.

**[01:15:00]** And this,

**[01:15:02]** yeah,

**[01:15:04]** exactly.

**[01:15:06]** And the worst part is that

**[01:15:08]** often adults don't even find out about it,

**[01:15:10]** we don't know,

**[01:15:12]** these things happen completely

**[01:15:14]** somewhere else,

**[01:15:16]** only some kids know about it,

**[01:15:18]** and so,

**[01:15:20]** for me it's always a big question

**[01:15:22]** how to open up these topics in the

**[01:15:24]** classroom.

**[01:15:26]** I created a methodology for that,

**[01:15:28]** who Sára is, and I have a fictional

**[01:15:30]** fourteen-year-old girl

**[01:15:32]** who serves as a platform,

**[01:15:34]** she has her blog, her

**[01:15:36]** Instagram, and

**[01:15:38]** through Sára, I want to address these topics

**[01:15:40]** to open. So now, the first methodology

**[01:15:42]** was digital footprint and OSINT,

**[01:15:44]** but in the second one, I immediately plan

**[01:15:46]** the fakenuts, where Sara publishes

**[01:15:48]** a blog post that I stalk her like this

**[01:15:50]** from the dorm and so on, and it seems to me

**[01:15:52]** like a relatively safe

**[01:15:54]** environment to talk about it and at the same time

**[01:15:56]** not be fully involved.

**[01:15:58]** I hope it will work out.

**[01:16:00]** Yeah, otherwise

**[01:16:02]** I might still recommend Kat

**[01:16:04]** Anna is dead,

**[01:16:06]** Marty is missing. Films that were

**[01:16:08]** like this kind of recording.

**[01:16:10]** Marty is dead.

**[01:16:12]** Yeah, sorry, I said it the other way around.

**[01:16:14]** For me too,

**[01:16:16]** I opened a film that

**[01:16:18]** kind of shook me as a parent,

**[01:16:20]** so if you haven't seen it, we'll put it in the materials

**[01:16:22]** and definitely don't watch it

**[01:16:24]** in the dark if the kids are younger.

**[01:16:26]** Watch it yourself first.

**[01:16:28]** Yeah,

**[01:16:30]** it's definitely not just

**[01:16:34]** as a society, again, concerning

**[01:16:36]** all of us, because anyone can

**[01:16:38]** be exposed and have their voice put on social media,

**[01:16:40]** and deepfake videos will just work,

**[01:16:42]** and we don't know what to do about it,

**[01:16:44]** but it's good to at least prepare a bit

**[01:16:46]** and realize it's even possible.

**[01:16:48]** Also a good digistory

**[01:16:50]** that was transferred from a person in a song.

**[01:16:52]** It's an app

**[01:16:54]** with video and so on, that

**[01:16:56]** nicely conveys this topic as well.

**[01:17:00]** What do you think is the most important

**[01:17:02]** the thing we need to improve as a society,

**[01:17:04]** to be able to adapt

**[01:17:06]** to a rapidly changing world?

**[01:17:08]** I think it's communication, yeah.

**[01:17:10]** I believe we don't communicate well among ourselves

**[01:17:12]** and that's exactly what's causing the problems

**[01:17:14]** we have right now.

**[01:17:16]** But that's

**[01:17:18]** a very broad question

**[01:17:20]** and it would require much more discussion.

**[01:17:22]** I'll try

**[01:17:24]** to help as much as I can

**[01:17:26]** with what comes to mind in this context

**[01:17:28]** and we're actually discussing it

**[01:17:30]** with Pepa Holý,

**[01:17:32]** who is also part of your kolikoliv,

**[01:17:34]** collaborating with many other

**[01:17:36]** interesting people.

**[01:17:38]** Paradoxically, he puts technology

**[01:17:40]** in second place and says that it's actually

**[01:17:42]** emotional intelligence.

**[01:17:44]** This is something we must develop extremely well,

**[01:17:46]** and I'll cut myself a little bit,

**[01:17:48]** because there are basically

**[01:17:50]** two streams of people,

**[01:17:52]** and the other is technology.

**[01:17:54]** Without mastering soft skills,

**[01:17:56]** it will simply be very difficult.

**[01:17:58]** So yes, we can be

**[01:18:00]** just geeks and somehow

**[01:18:02]** function, but if

**[01:18:04]** we can't communicate with someone on the other side,

**[01:18:06]** can't empathize, can't

**[01:18:08]** engage in non-violent communication, solve problems,

**[01:18:10]** and so on, then I'm afraid

**[01:18:12]** the gap is huge,

**[01:18:14]** and no one taught us that, meaning,

**[01:18:16]** if there was a curriculum,

**[01:18:18]** like the one you'd put together,

**[01:18:20]** for kids, basically these soft skills

**[01:18:22]** and collaboration and communication.

**[01:18:24]** Some materials are, it deals with

**[01:18:26]** for example logic or software.

**[01:18:28]** Definitely recommend, great.

**[01:18:30]** Could it work as a tool

**[01:18:32]** for managers in companies for personalized work

**[01:18:34]** with employees?

**[01:18:36]** Yeah, just we, sure,

**[01:18:38]** basically yes.

**[01:18:40]** Basically, I think it's the same everywhere.

**[01:18:42]** Only we focus

**[01:18:46]** exclusively on children and educators.

**[01:18:48]** I'm thinking,

**[01:18:50]** whether to ask this question, but it's very liked,

**[01:18:52]** so I'll ask you, why do you have so many tattoos?

**[01:18:54]** Well, yeah, I have to...

**[01:18:56]** It's the most liked question.

**[01:18:58]** Really? Yeah, here 8 likes

**[01:19:00]** and people are interested, so you have to say,

**[01:19:02]** you have to say, it's all a deepfake video,

**[01:19:04]** but I'm not at all, it's an avatar, you know?

**[01:19:06]** You had an avatar made, right?

**[01:19:08]** I did, yeah.

**[01:19:10]** When we co-filmed that video.

**[01:19:12]** Yeah, I have two now and yesterday I had a second one made, yeah?

**[01:19:14]** I have an avatar made first from video and voice

**[01:19:18]** and yesterday they scanned 130 photos of me,

**[01:19:20]** all like this.

**[01:19:22]** And now I'm totally in the cloud.

**[01:19:24]** Well, because I don't know why I'm like this.

**[01:19:26]** Whether it relates

**[01:19:28]** to your creativity

**[01:19:30]** and design, you know?

**[01:19:32]** Yeah, a lot, a lot, yeah.

**[01:19:34]** I have, well it's not very visible,

**[01:19:36]** so these are, what are they called, tree rings.

**[01:19:38]** I really like trees and forests.

**[01:19:40]** And I liked the concept of

**[01:19:42]** having tree rings on me.

**[01:19:44]** I don't have 41 of them though

**[01:19:46]** and I don't add them every year,

**[01:19:48]** but I think,

**[01:19:50]** that I'm done with tattooing.

**[01:19:52]** Although yesterday,

**[01:19:54]** for me it's kind of conceptual, you know?

**[01:19:56]** Yesterday, when they were making my avatar,

**[01:19:58]** they were creating a 3D model.

**[01:20:00]** and they put dots all over my face,

**[01:20:04]** to synchronize based on those dots.

**[01:20:08]** And I was like, wow, that's really cool.

**[01:20:11]** But hopefully I won't do it.

**[01:20:14]** So they actually did with you what

**[01:20:18]** I saw when they were filming real avatars.

**[01:20:21]** That means you really get captured by the immunitarians. That's awesome.

**[01:20:24]** Like in Hollywood movies. It's amazing.

**[01:20:27]** And where is this available here?

**[01:20:30]** We started with Heidžen, of course some,

**[01:20:33]** so who does this here?

**[01:20:36]** Honza Burjánek and some studio were involved.

**[01:20:39]** And I haven't told the problem yet, what it's called,

**[01:20:42]** but I'll tag it later.

**[01:20:45]** And what do you want to use it for with those?

**[01:20:48]** I still have some of my own creative projects.

**[01:20:51]** I've been working on an installation for about eight years now,

**[01:20:55]** and it's a beech tree I cut down somewhere in the forest.

**[01:20:58]** Then I tried for several years to get rid of the bugs,

**[01:21:03]** which significantly affected my apartment.

**[01:21:06]** And now it's like a tree,

**[01:21:09]** and I focus on making glowing objects,

**[01:21:12]** so I work with textiles,

**[01:21:15]** and glowing mushrooms and various things grow from it.

**[01:21:18]** And at the same time, it has sensors on it.

**[01:21:21]** Eight sensors, which are simply inputs.

**[01:21:24]** So I can trigger different things through those sensors,

**[01:21:27]** and I want to use this avatar here.

**[01:21:30]** In Unreal, I want to make the avatar speak in 3D like AI,

**[01:21:35]** and I want to texture it with various real-time textures,

**[01:21:38]** which will morph.

**[01:21:41]** So I will trigger different projections and interactions

**[01:21:44]** using those sensors or user input.

**[01:21:47]** That's great.

**[01:21:50]** By the way, I really praised

**[01:21:53]** the design of your Methodica website.

**[01:21:56]** It's beautiful, so if you haven't visited the site,

**[01:21:59]** that's another reason why you should check it out.

**[01:22:02]** It's really beautiful and it has your handwriting style.

**[01:22:05]** It's very well done.

**[01:22:08]** I feel like this is one of the important things

**[01:22:11]** that somehow predicts success for those things.

**[01:22:14]** If it's written ugly

**[01:22:18]** in T6 pairs and like this,

**[01:22:21]** it won't look good, but when it's polished,

**[01:22:24]** it looks professional, trendy, modern,

**[01:22:27]** so I think this really helps a lot.

**[01:22:30]** Jirka asks what tools you would recommend to kids

**[01:22:33]** to verify information generated by an AI application?

**[01:22:36]** The generated information isn't always correct.

**[01:22:39]** For verifying text.

**[01:22:42]** Maybe text, video, and so on.

**[01:22:45]** Let's try to take it step by step.

**[01:22:48]** For text, I don't think there are any

**[01:22:51]** meaningful tools to verify whether it was generated or not,

**[01:22:54]** at least none that I know of. Because they always output

**[01:22:57]** some probability, and then what do you do with that? 95% yes, no.

**[01:23:00]** And about a year ago, there was a funny story

**[01:23:03]** where it said that the Bible was generated.

**[01:23:06]** So that's just...

**[01:23:09]** You also have that 10. rom there.

**[01:23:12]** Yeah, yeah. But that was written in the morning.

**[01:23:15]** So I don't see it there.

**[01:23:18]** And of course, you can tell

**[01:23:21]** if you're chatting with the AI, you know it's talkative

**[01:23:24]** and always the same, unless you tell it to do otherwise.

**[01:23:27]** And when there's user input, even less so.

**[01:23:30]** Regarding images, for me the most reliable is

**[01:23:33]** a simple Google Lens or Google image search.

**[01:23:36]** If I have something, I try to upload it there, something comes up, it wasn't.

**[01:23:40]** Also interesting is PimEyes,

**[01:23:43]** which is a tool called PimEyes,

**[01:23:49]** like eyes, PimEyes, which searches using AI,

**[01:23:52]** so it looks for patterns and might find your face.

**[01:23:55]** It found me somewhere when I was 16, where someone took a photo of me.

**[01:24:00]** I'm already somewhere on the internet.

**[01:24:03]** It found me looking younger like that.

**[01:24:06]** It's good for searching identity, for example.

**[01:24:09]** Regarding videos, I actually don't even know

**[01:24:12]** how to search for videos.

**[01:24:15]** We, we actually still,

**[01:24:18]** and I know you posted that T-mobile video,

**[01:24:21]** where parents come into the cinema

**[01:24:24]** and see their daughter, like you are the future.

**[01:24:27]** Regarding cybersecurity, when you say someone took a photo of you at 16,

**[01:24:30]** we actually try, I personally,

**[01:24:33]** but in Red Button we had a consensus that we try not to show kids

**[01:24:36]** completely outside. So just try to say something about that.

**[01:24:39]** For example, posting like that

**[01:24:42]** might not be the best idea.

**[01:24:45]** Yeah, because even in the methodology with Sara,

**[01:24:48]** who deals with digital footprints and synthesis,

**[01:24:51]** we end the methodology directly there. And have you talked with parents

**[01:24:54]** about whether they post your photos and reminded them about it?

**[01:24:57]** Because very often parents really don't realize that you are overexposed.

**[01:25:00]** Sure, I understand that.

**[01:25:03]** But I think it's really important to discuss this with the kids,

**[01:25:06]** whether they really want it.

**[01:25:09]** Because kids think about it. For example, my son doesn't allow me

**[01:25:12]** to post him anywhere. And once I managed to, and I had to pay him a hundred for it.

**[01:25:15]** So it is possible.

**[01:25:18]** If you have money, it is possible.

**[01:25:21]** Everything can be bought and broken.

**[01:25:24]** Adela has a question here. Hello.

**[01:25:27]** What do you think a healthy attitude of elementary schools, especially the first grade,

**[01:25:30]** towards AI and working with technologies looks like? Where is the line of too little?

**[01:25:33]** Thank you.

**[01:25:36]** A healthy attitude in the sense of...

**[01:25:39]** In the first grade.

**[01:25:42]** I don't know.

**[01:25:45]** I only base it on some of my personal experiences.

**[01:25:48]** And that is when kids talk to a chatbot

**[01:25:52]** In primary school, it often seems to me that it's about

**[01:25:55]** trying to write something, maybe three words with three mistakes,

**[01:25:58]** and the chatbot spits out some nonsense,

**[01:26:01]** and they say it's pointless and leave.

**[01:26:04]** Because they actually don't know how to formulate the thing,

**[01:26:07]** and therefore don't understand the quality of the tool.

**[01:26:10]** So to me, it seems pointless there, because I think kids should mainly read,

**[01:26:13]** to be able to read with understanding,

**[01:26:16]** and based on that reading,

**[01:26:19]** also be able to formulate what they want.

**[01:26:22]** And this is what is needed in primary school, from my point of view.

**[01:26:25]** Reading with understanding is great,

**[01:26:28]** that's a good tip, good advice.

**[01:26:31]** I'm thinking about the questions,

**[01:26:34]** there are still many, a lot of them.

**[01:26:37]** Here Juraj, it's more just a comment,

**[01:26:40]** just a note that the current state with AI is something like

**[01:26:43]** the nineties in business, so I probably agree that

**[01:26:46]** everything will somehow change.

**[01:26:49]** I think I'll end it here today,

**[01:26:52]** if you don't mind.

**[01:26:55]** Thank you very much, Eva, for your input into this discussion,

**[01:26:58]** into this topic, which I think we could talk about

**[01:27:01]** for a very, very long time.

**[01:27:04]** I'll try to go back to the presentation, just asking the crew.

**[01:27:07]** I would really appreciate it if you

**[01:27:10]** give us feedback on how you

**[01:27:13]** liked this breakfast and also a word that comes to mind

**[01:27:16]** when you heard this breakfast.

**[01:27:19]** There are normal stars.

**[01:27:22]** And what will be more important for us,

**[01:27:25]** try to

**[01:27:28]** actually with a colleague

**[01:27:31]** or at home, try to sit down

**[01:27:34]** and discuss a bit what you heard,

**[01:27:37]** reflect on what surprised you,

**[01:27:40]** and maybe changed something in your own way of working.

**[01:27:43]** And as usual, we will continue

**[01:27:46]** with another digestif,

**[01:27:49]** when on 11.3. at two o'clock you are warmly invited

**[01:27:52]** for the discussion.

**[01:27:55]** I invited a few guests,

**[01:27:58]** so it’s not just the two of us again,

**[01:28:01]** but it’s kind of a clubhouse format, so you can join,

**[01:28:04]** you can raise your hand to speak, but primarily the guests discuss,

**[01:28:07]** who you will join.

**[01:28:10]** There will be Marv from the Flow school,

**[01:28:13]** who actually founded the school based on technological literacy.

**[01:28:16]** Karolina Presová will be there again, whom you might know

**[01:28:19]** and definitely recognize from the Brain Breakfast,

**[01:28:22]** who was here at homodigitus

**[01:28:25]** and also interesting, also interesting.

**[01:28:28]** Ondra will be a guest and a few others as well,

**[01:28:31]** so if you make time and the topic interests you,

**[01:28:34]** and you feel like it, then on March 11th on the edu platform

**[01:28:37]** at 2 PM there will be this discussion.

**[01:28:40]** Just a reminder, it’s here and now, we don’t record these discussions,

**[01:28:43]** so we can be as open as possible with each other,

**[01:28:46]** we can disagree, we can even rant a bit,

**[01:28:49]** so this really is a unique opportunity.

**[01:28:52]** As I said, it’s good to take some time to reflect,

**[01:28:55]** so I encourage you to do that.

**[01:28:58]** And of course, I also invite you to the next Brain and Breakfast Business.

**[01:29:02]** We will build habits in the people area,

**[01:29:05]** in technology we will move from Dita and AI

**[01:29:08]** to customer experience.

**[01:29:11]** Here you have it set.

**[01:29:14]** February 26th, a lesson by Professor Milan Zelený

**[01:29:17]** School of Life, our traditional next project,

**[01:29:20]** which we have launched.

**[01:29:23]** Book of the Month, read it, show what you do.

**[01:29:26]** The legendary book is now the Book of the Month for February.

**[01:29:29]** Hanka Jadavan is working on it, rbkniha.cz.

**[01:29:32]** And maybe, if you need anything,

**[01:29:35]** Red Button is there for that,

**[01:29:38]** if you have a problem pressing the red button,

**[01:29:41]** so press it.

**[01:29:44]** And now the most important part.

**[01:29:47]** In March, we will continue with the breakfasts as well

**[01:29:53]** and the topic Karel Novotný, a man who is a marketing strategist,

**[01:29:56]** he created many brands.

**[01:30:00]** who really understands the craft,

**[01:30:03]** so we decided to look at marketing

**[01:30:06]** from a slightly different perspective

**[01:30:08]** and see how marketing actually works on us,

**[01:30:12]** what works on us, what we should watch out for,

**[01:30:14]** and that's why we called it It's Campaigns.

**[01:30:17]** So if you're interested in the topic of marketing

**[01:30:20]** and how it affects us,

**[01:30:23]** on the 23rd from 8:30,

**[01:30:26]** I'll be looking forward to seeing you again at Magenta

**[01:30:28]** or with you at your TV screens.

**[01:30:32]** Take care, thanks a lot, bye and see you.

**[01:30:35]** Thanks again to you once more and to you.

**[01:30:37]** Thanks a lot, goodbye.
