So as parents, we have to make our own decisions.
What do you want to do with your kid?
How should your kid...
be there.
But the last thing I'll leave you with here is that in testimony to Congress, the chief science officer of the American Psychological Association basically gave a speech about how at the phase of life that an 11 to 13-year-old is, from basically from being a child up to the age of 25, your brain is learning
everything it can and it learns mostly from its cues from its peers.
It has no ability to control its impulses and is just looking for affirmation.
Social media plays right into that.
It's built to take advantage of that.
And so that I think is the best way to think about this question of whether you should have a smartphone or not really comes down to whether a kid is going to get social media out of it, feel pressure to be on social media,
That, to me, is the big takeaway of studies like the University of South Florida study and all the other ones that we've been seeing.
Believe me when I tell you that I am not here to hype up AI.

If you know anything about me, you know that I wrote a book called The Loop, how AI is creating a world without choices and how to fight back.

We shouldn't be using it to simulate romantic relationships.

We shouldn't be using it in the way that we are doing.

So I really hope you will believe me when I say I'm not here to hype up what's going on in AI.
matched
But I do think it's really important to know what's happening in AI because of the progress it's making and the ways in which it's, you know, totally unregulated and as a result moving without any kind of friction at all into all these different corners of our lives.

You know, both Google and OpenAI are currently making their pitch to the Trump administration, basically saying we should be allowed to vacuum up the entire Internet's worth of, you know, digital content without having to think about copyright or intellectual property or any of that.
