Australian classrooms are getting a 'digital detox'—what does this mean for schools and students?

The federal government is pushing for a "digital detox" in schools. In a new report, it outlines growing concerns about the use of digital technologies in classrooms. These include concerns about artificial intelligence (AI) harming children's critical thinking, concentration and problem-solving skills. The government now plans to reduce the time students spend on screens and limit AI use at school to improve learning.
