The Gen AI Talk: Practical Online Safety for the Next Generation
Welcome to a critical episode of Cyber Dialogues, where we tackle the most urgent trend in cybersecurity: protecting children in the age of Generative AI.
The digital landscape our kids inhabit is evolving at an unprecedented pace. Host Sharmin Jassal is joined by Nina Bual and Michelle Yao, the visionary co-founders of Cyberlite, a leading organisation dedicated to youth cyber safety and Gen AI education.
They reveal startling statistics, like the two-hour daily average screen time for two-year-olds and the prevalence of "AI slop" in child-centric online content and explain why the next generation is adopting tools like ChatGPT and Co-pilot faster than adults. This casual yet crucial chat zeroes in on the key challenge: fostering responsible use of AI, not just avoiding it.
Tune in to discover practical insights on how parents and teachers can confidently lead the conversation about online safety and AI literacy, ensuring our children are equipped with the information that is their true safety net.
