Estonia offers free ChatGPT accounts to school children
Estonia will provide schoolchildren with free ChatGPT accounts to support educational use of AI. Teachers use chatbots for role-playing scenarios and improving AI-written essays, reflecting a broader trend of integrating AI into education. The move echoes past initiatives like Sweden’s computer distribution and Estonia’s 1996 'Tiger Leap' policy, which contributed to the success of companies like Bolt, Skype, and Wise.
