In this episode of Dadpreneur, we dive into the dark side of AI: the risks to children and teens when chatbots and companion-AIs are used without strong guardrails. From Meta AI’s troubling record revealed by Common Sense Media to recent findings about ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and others, we break down what parents must know: how these tools can mislead emotionally vulnerable kids, expose them to harmful content, and even play a role in self-harm, eating disorders, or suicide. Plus: what policies, controls, and conversations parents can insist on to keep kids safer in the age of AI.
