At what age should kids start learning about AI?

Conversationally from about five — the phone-keyboard autocomplete demo works fine at that age. Hands-on with a guided tool from about seven. Solo use of general-purpose chatbots isn't appropriate for this age group at all; most set a minimum age of 13 in their own terms.

Is AI going to make my child lazy?

It can, and that's the risk worth watching. It happens when AI answers questions the child hasn't attempted. It doesn't happen when the child is directing AI to build something, because there the child still has to decide, test, and fix.

Do I need to understand AI to guide my child?

No. You need one accurate idea — it predicts rather than knows — and four habits. Your not knowing is actually useful: looking it up together is exactly the behaviour you want them to copy.

What should my child learn first — coding or AI?

For a 7–12 year-old these have merged. Directing an AI to build something teaches both at once: precise instruction, testing, and judgement about when the machine is wrong.
