In this special live episode, high school seniors Daniel and Zon share their unfiltered perspectives on the reality of artificial intelligence. Recorded live at the CSREA AI symposium, this conversation digs into how teenagers are truly experiencing AI today. 

Our guests from Highlander Charter School and ARISE explore the "toxic" codependency of young people using AI bots as their best friends instead of forming real human connections, and how relying on AI for schoolwork is stripping away critical thinking, making students "lazy," and stifling originality. 

Join the discussion as these youth leaders debate whether AI is a powerful tool for innovation or a dangerous weapon capable of creating harmful deepfakes, and discuss how we might redesign technology to help us rebuild our social connections. Unfortunately, the crowd wasn’t mic’d up, so just imagine them going absolutely berserk at these AI Truth Bombs 😁
