‘Should I let my kid have ChatGPT?’ and all your biggest questions about AI, answered

It feels like artificial intelligence is taking over every facet of life. Adults encounter AI daily. It recommends products for us to buy, shares content we’ll like on streaming platforms, filters spam in our email accounts, and even tracks our health through our smart watches. It’s increasingly becoming a part of our kids’ daily lives, too. They are accessing AI on smartphones, using it in school and some are even developing relationships with AI chatbots. Fearing a repeat of the consequences that came from unfettered teen access to smartphones and social media in the early 2010s, many parents are justifiably concerned about this new technological frontier. Experts are sounding alarm bells, as well.
