The rapid advancement of technology necessitates integrating computational thinking (CT) and artificial intelligence (AI) from the earliest stages of education. As researchers navigate through the digital age, it becomes increasingly important to prepare young learners to understand and engage with these technologies, which are reshaping human lives. Early childhood education (ECE) is critical for laying the foundation for lifelong learning and cognitive development. During these formative years, children are especially receptive to new concepts and ways of thinking, making it an ideal period to introduce CT and AI. Early childhood education not only shapes academic skills but also fosters creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities. Integrating CT and AI into ECE can provide children with the tools learners need to navigate and thrive in a technology-driven world. By introducing these concepts early, researchers can demystify technology and encourage a generation of learners that are not just consumers of technology but also creators and innovators.
