Artificial Intelligence is not just technology. It’s an artificial biologic with tremendous population health implications—both promising and perilous. In today’s @TIME, I call for AI engineers to take a Hippocratic Oath promising, first, to do no harm. https://t.co/SXPIuROzgl

“The app might’ve made a more picture-perfect bash—but the party wasn’t the point.” A beautiful and powerful essay by Miranda Rake in @TheAtlantic, on what we lose when we hand the seemingly mundane tasks of parenting over to AI. https://t.co/2z8KK0jT80

Apps are promising to ease the job of child-rearing—but they’re missing something crucial.

Babies are born to bond with other humans. When they bond, instead, with human-like AI systems, we don’t yet know what that means for their brain development. But we do know caution is warranted. Thank you for publishing our commentary, @BrookingsInst

The FTC studying AI chatbots’ impact on children’s mental health is good, overdue news. Just as we set guardrails for food and drugs that reach children, we need guidelines and transparency standards for AI companions before they flood the marketplace. https://t.co/BV8bQiEXFn

The regulator is expected to send letters to makers of AI chatbots.

we've all seen the coming horror stories of AI -- some of which are already coming to pass. @DrDanaSuskind has a strong idea: "AI merits a pledge built, like the Hippocratic Oath, around a fundamental principle: Power without conscience is dangerous." via @TIME
"Multiple AI leaders have suggested the technology could achieve human-level general intelligence within a few years. Yet unlike medical students, AI engineers graduate without ever pledging to 'first, do no harm.'" AI engineers need their own Hippocratic Oath, argues

'The teenage brain is still developing—particularly impulse control and risk assessment—making young people less equipped to judge the accuracy or safety of advice.' We simply can't allow children's brains to be testing grounds for unregulated AI. https://t.co/8lc1JcRAUp

We are deploying digital pseudo-therapists at an unprecedented scale, and those most at risk of negative outcomes are teens.

Grateful to @FamsInSchools for engaging me in this important dialogue around AI and early childhood. If we are to avoid the same mistakes we made with social media, we need robust research into AI’s effects on developing brains. Now. https://t.co/epPX69FHTG

“Here is where AI’s agreeability—so crucial to its rapid adoption—becomes its Achille's heel. Its tendency to value short-term user satisfaction over truthfulness—to blow digital smoke up one’s skirt—can isolate users and reinforce confirmation bias.” https://t.co/pk504OfqOz

The medical profession has clear rules and responsibilities. What about the chatbots?

$SNAP - We think there could be value! P/S: 30x to 3x why? Stock based compensation has been 27% of SNAP revenue since IPO! Management needs to start being more shareholder friendly for the stock to revalue.

The nation needs a strategy for children’s media that draws from the trusted legacy of public media and leverages today’s most promising tech tools.

I decided to throw my hat into the ring for #SXSWEDU 2026, where I'm hoping to present concrete principles for responsible use of AI in early childhood. My panel is called BORN TO BE WIRED 😉 Do me a favor and vote for it in the #PanelPicker! https://t.co/FhmB9aSiWo

Cartels are only part of the story. Across Latin America, “bottom-up” gangs provide order, resolve disputes, and control neighborhoods. This is criminal governance — and it is reshaping the region. On this episode of The LatinNews Podcast, Benjamin Lessing (@BigBigBLessing),
