Authentic vs. Artificial - Do Teens Trust A.I. in Media? - S8 E4

from Life Is The Future Hosted by Scott Todnem

Media or Mind of Its Own? This week's 8th grade hosts, Maddie and Arbaaz, partner up to interview classmates Mason and Alicia. The teens take on the topic of social media and artificial intelligence. They talk about the impact of media on social health, positives and negatives of connecting with friends online, the influence of the internet felt in a school setting, the increasingly real look of AI generated content, potential help or harm of AI, propaganda and false information, the loss of original thought, and other related connections to AI and media in our society today and in the future. What other concepts should the students have mentioned in this episode? Tune in soon as our other two Season 8 hosts, Piper and Mwanashe, take over with a new topic and a new set of guests.
