Norway's approach can be seen as a "caution-first" policy choice, buying time for educational research and regulation to catch up with the technology.

Good, first develop empathy and social skills. Then critical thinking. Only then AI as an educational tool. Social media? Never.

It shocks me that anyone would be giving AI to elementary school kids, so I think this is good.
