  "account": "The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has introduced a new module for students in Classes 9 to 12, covering the fundamentals of Computational Thinking and Artificial Intelligence (AI). This module, in line with the National Education Policy 2020, employs activity-based learning to make AI concepts accessible to learners without prior AI knowledge.\n\nKey features of the module include a focus on critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. It presents Computational Thinking (CT) as a structured method for tackling problems, enabling students to grasp the workings of AI, its applications, potential, and constraints.\n\nThe module utilizes an experiential learning approach, incorporating discussions, practical exercises, experimentation, and reflection. These activities can be carried out with or without digital devices, ensuring that all students, regardless of their school's technological resources, can participate fully.\n\nA significant emphasis has been placed on the ethical and responsible use of AI. This encompasses data privacy, combating misinformation, ensuring fairness, digital safety, and the critical evaluation of AI-generated information. The module aims to equip students to navigate the digital age as informed, confident, and responsible technology users.\n\nFurthermore, the NCERT stresses that while technology plays a crucial role in learning, human judgment, creativity, and ethical responsibility remain paramount.",
