In China, many schoolchildren are using artificial intelligence (AI) tools. It has sparked discussion about how to help them use this technology while still developing their critical thinking skills.
A magazine linked to the state news agency Xinhua conducted a survey on AI in education.
The study showed that 40 per cent of 700 secondary school students in northern China used local chatbots like DeepSeek, Doubao and Kimi for their winter break assignments.
Additionally, 31 per cent of these students used AI tools to help them understand questions and learn new subjects.
About 28 per cent used them to collect and organise information.
Local governments and businesses have started using DeepSeek in their work. Major universities are offering courses on how to use it effectively.
However, teachers and parents are still trying to understand how to teach kids to use AI responsibly.
