Impact on education
KRITIKOS offers an innovative way to guide students in their use of generative AI. Instead of relying on ready-made answers, students learn to critically reflect on their AI use and decisions, fostering self-regulated learning and critical AI literacy. For teachers, it provides a concrete tool to support responsible and ethical AI use in the classroom. And best of all, KRITIKOS is built for students, by students.
