aceGeneration AI: fears of ‘social divide’ unless all children learn computing skills
In a Cambridge classroom, Joseph, 10, trained his AI model to discern between drawings of apples and drawings of smiles. “AI gets lots of things wrong,” he said, as it mistakenly identified a fruit as a face. He set about retraining it and, in a flash, he had it back on track – instinctively understanding the inner nature of artificial intelligence and machine learning in a way few adults do. His friends from the St Paul’s C of E primary school coding club tapped away to build their own AIs with similar dexterit…
In a Cambridge primary school coding club, a 10-year-old was able to retrain his image classification model after an error, demonstrating practical learning of how machine learning models are corrected.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0099 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
