What happens when AI collides with the next generation? In this episode of For Humanity #70 — Young People vs. Advancing AI, host John Sherman sits down with Emma Corbett, Ava Smithing, and Sam Heiner from the Young People’s Alliance to explore how artificial intelligence is already shaping the lives of students and young leaders.

From classrooms to job applications to AI “companions,” the next generation is facing challenges that older policymakers often don’t even see. This episode digs into what young people really think about AI—and why their voices are critical in the fight for a safe and human future.

In this episode we cover:

* Students’ on-the-ground views of AI in education and daily life

* How AI is fueling job loss, hiring barriers, and rising anxiety about the future

* The hidden dangers of AI companions and the erosion of real community

* Why young people feel abandoned by “adults in the room”

* The path from existential dread → civic action → hope

🎯 Why watch?

Because if AI defines the future, young people will inherit it first. Their voices, fears, and leadership could decide whether AI remains a tool—or becomes an existential threat.
