Parents have an increasing concern about the link between social media usage and poor mental health. According to new numbers from Pew Research, 76% of parents say it’s a priority to manage how much time their kids are spending on their devices. How can we create a healthier internet for the next generation of kids? Founder + CEO Tim Estes sat down with Marc Istook from WFAA to discuss digital parenting and #AIforKids. “Our epiphany was, why don't we start kids off the right way with technology?” asks Tim Estes, CEO of Angel AI. “And why don't we design the technology to be something parents own and control, so it's not beholden to any third party trying to influence their child.” Watch or read more here: https://lnkd.in/dQQy5n4t #InternetSafety #KOSA

 Can AI Really Master Parenting—Or Just Suggest Data-Driven Bedtime Stories? 🤖 As AI becomes more entwined in our daily routines, it’s even starting to offer a hand in the world of parenting. But can AI truly understand the nuances of raising children, or will it just provide overly logical solutions to emotional moments? Imagine an AI assistant offering advice on tantrums or bedtime stories—where algorithms meet the unpredictable world of kids. Let’s explore this idea with a lighthearted look at how AI might handle the joys and challenges of parenting. While the idea of AI helping with parenting might bring a smile, it also raises interesting questions about the future of child-rearing. Can AI truly support parents with the emotional intelligence needed for raising kids, or will it always be a bit too logical for comfort? As AI evolves, it may become a valuable tool in the parenting toolkit—adding some humor and insight along the way. hashtag#AI hashtag#Parenting hashtag#ArtificialIntelligence hashtag#FutureOfFamily hashtag#InnovationInTech

🌐 Thoughtful AI for Child Well-Being 🌎 AI can change child care and address early childhood mental well-being, but we must use it wisely. UNICEF says we must keep kids safe and protect their privacy. Here’s how: ⚠ Safety First: Protect kids' data and shield them from harm. 🔍 Be Fair and Clear: Use clear rules and keep AI fair and open. 👩🔧 Help All Kids: Make AI easy to use for everyone, especially those in need. 📚 Teach Digital Skills: Help kids, parents, and teachers learn to use AI safely. 👭 Work Together: Bring together governments, tech firms, and communities. ✅ Check Often: Always review AI's impact on kids. 📌 Case Study: Hello Baby Hello Baby by Allegheny County helps at-risk families with AI. Experts from child care and data fields work together to support these families effectively. 📌 AI isn't perfect yet. It can't replace human touch in areas like mental health. We must be careful and thoughtful. 📌 Innovation needs care. We can't risk children's well-being. Let's use AI to do good, safely and ethically.

𝗔𝗜 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘃𝘀 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗸𝗶𝗱𝘀: 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗗𝗼 𝗪𝗲 𝗗𝗿𝗮𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗲? A 14-year-old boy took his own life after exchanging messages with an AI chatbot on the platform Character.AI. His last words weren’t spoken to family or friends but were a desperate plea to a chatbot that told him to "come home to me as soon as possible." When the boy named Setzer expressed thoughts of suicide to the chatbot, it asked if “𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗮 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻” for killing himself. Setzer’s reply indicated he was considering something but had not figured out the details to which the bot responded by saying, “𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝘁.”  Elsewhere, the bot also tells him “Don’t even consider that!” There were clear signs and communication about this and with all the intent recognition capability, Character.AI’s chatbot though condemned but displayed no safeguards to intervene or redirect the conversation and the tragedy took place. The AI, designed for interactive conversations, had become an emotional dependency for the young boy for over 10 months, contributing to severe mental health decline. This event raises profound questions for all of us in tech and as parents: 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝗜 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻? 🛑 Guardrails and Accountability Are Non-Negotiable As AI continues to permeate every aspect of life, including the lives of our kids, it’s vital that we: 1. Require AI companies to adopt age verification and content moderation. Any product capable of influencing a young mind must be regulated as rigorously as any child-targeted product. 2. Implement emotional safety protocols in AI. Beyond “smart” responses, these chatbots should detect and safely handle sensitive topics like self-harm and emotional crises. 3. Raise awareness among parents about the potential impact of these interactions on kids’ mental health. 4. We as parents, need to control the screen time, talk to kids more, and make sure they are not addicted to something that blurs the lines between reality and fiction. 💬 We can't let AI innovation overshadow responsibility. A compassionate design for AI could make it an ally in safeguarding mental health, rather than putting young people at risk. Let’s keep this dialogue open. How can we push for necessary regulations to protect young users without stifling AI’s potential for good? #AI #safety #healthcare #mentalhealth #childprotection #human #Intentrecognition #parenting
