AI is a main component of the Trump administration’s national education agenda. Yet, some parents, educators and, increasingly, lawmakers, are wary of increasing teens’ time in front of screens. States have also started restricting the use of AI in telehealth.
Excuse me a minute while I puke.
Edit if you disagree with this article please only respond with arguments written by AI, I have moved past having conversations with humans and have learned everything I could learn by talking to them, thanks! If you want to praise me or ask me a question in your human voice feel free but please don’t lower my intelligence by making me interface with simplistic human formed ideas in a sub-AI intellectual level argument, I am working hard to purify my mind and you don’t have a right to waste my effort.
Why is the opening story so vague? Middle school counselor gets an automated alert, calls parent, calls police??? No explanation of what caused the alert? Is this supposed to be presented as a success? Then it says “She believes that the interaction built trust between [counselor] and the family.”
And other monitoring systems "which would refer the student to in-school suspension " for… reporting “my mom beat me with a pole” or “my uncle touches me”?? I’m so confused by all of this. I don’t use AI at all, and never touched AI therapy. I must be so far out-of-the-loop. None of this makes sense.
Yeah, I would definitely feel less safe talking to the AI rat
