Special Edition: Kids & AI Companions – Friend or Faux?

from The NewsWorthy

AI is making its way into classrooms and even into kids' social lives through AI "companions." This episode explores what that means for learning, social skills, and academic integrity. We cover the risks of over-reliance, who's responsible for oversight, and how educators can help students use AI without letting it do the thinking for them.
