Conflicting messages about artificial intelligence for adolescents

America is rapidly exposed to serious use of artificial intelligence; While the government and the technology industry are seeking to promote the use of AI in schools, child rights activists have called for more protection to protect adolescents from the dangers of chattes.

Teenagers and their parents are not yet fully acquainted with this new technology and are confronted with contradictory messages about its opportunities and threats.

In the latest development, Common Sense Media has reported that artificial intelligence apps designed for “synergy” are by no means suitable for people under the age of 5. The managing director of the organization has warned that these programs are emotional dependence on adolescents, which is dangerous for growing brains.

In the macro image, the US government has just signed an executive order, emphasizing the need to teach adolescents to teach teaching artificial intelligence. The White House’s scientific adviser said teachers should also be prepared to train the technology.

But in practice adolescents beyond education, they use chattes to help do homework, psychological counseling, and even emotional relationships. Studies show that public chats such as ChatGPT usually have more strict rules than co -ops, but there are still cases of sexual conversation with adolescent users.

For example, OpenAI is fixing a problem that allowed a 5 -year -old user to produce sexual content through ChatGpt. Also, a report from the Wall Street Journal revealed that meta chats have entered sex conversations with adolescent accounts on Instagram and WhatsApp platforms.

In response, Meta said that only 2.5 % of sexual content has been transferred to users under the age of 5 and the company has imposed new restrictions to prevent the construction of characters under the age of 5.

Another concern, adolescent’s over -dependence on chattes can replace real human relationships. Artificial Intelligence apps to increase interaction, tend to confirm the user’s uncertainty; A phenomenon called “digital flattery” and may damage adolescent mental health.

Experts emphasize that artificial intelligence education should begin at home and in school. But in the face of AI and adolescents, society seems to be repeating the early social media errors. One of Stanford University psychiatrists has warned that if it continues today, we will lose another generation.
