Estonia recognises the value of AI in developing critical thinking

Kristina Kallas, the Estonian Education Minister, has stressed the significance of the use of AI in education. She argues for the teaching of cognitive skills from the early stages of education, since future work will demand the use of critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. In addition, AI as a learning tool has now been introduced to all upper secondary schools in Estonia. In this way, as she says, AI will develop cognitive growth and, as a result, enhance critical and analytical thinking. Rather than asking students to work without AI, they should be encouraged to use AI tools to further their education and develop critical thinking.

The AI Critical Thinking Coach which Olivier Malafronte and I have developed fits very well with this approach. It enables both students and teachers to develop and reinforce their critical thinking skills. If you want to have a free sample coaching session with it, here is the link:
