The debate over how to protect children as AI use grows

Season 2026 Episode 146 | 8m 39s

One of the biggest concerns of artificial intelligence is how children and teens use it daily. Critics say the tech companies are not doing enough to protect children, can't be trusted and argue more regulation is needed. The Omidyar Network, a tech philanthropic firm, is out with a new approach of its own. Geoff Bennett discussed more with CEO Michele Jawando.
