Therefore, it is essential for all people, especially children, to learn how they work so that we can continue ownership over technology. If we lost ownership, we will succumb to the robotic overlords (not being sarcastic). Robots are increasingly relying on AI based on human programming (biased and flawed), and we have to regulate/manage data responsibly.
