AI Boundaries, Phone Free Rooms, and Tech at Sporting Events

About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of AI on children, including the need for preparation and boundaries around technology use in various settings.

After a recent talk at a local church I was approached by someone who works for a major tech company and regularly works with AI. He stressed three points heavily: Our children need to be intentionally prepared for AI. It makes up info, it lies to cover its tracks, and even the best AI trainers don't know what they're going to get out of this resource. Our children use AI more than adults do, so they will be the first native-use employees entering the workforce with AI in hand. It's our opportunity to equip, and warn, them. Don't use AI for anything you can't vet. Today we'll address this as well as the problem of heat pollution, how tech companies plan to handle the incredible energy draw of AI farms on the grid, how to handle tech at sporting events, and what we should do about phones in the bedroom.
