🧵New research: AI companions are becoming increasingly popular with teens, despite posing serious risks to adolescents, who are developing their capacity for critical thinking & social/emotional regulation. Out today is our research that explores how & why teens are using them👇
Huge thanks to @williamready from @Pinterest , @jsibo and the @TIME team for inviting me to join them at the TIME100 Talk at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. We explored the future of AI, safe online spaces and the importance of brand and digital inclusivity.
🧵Common Sense Media just launched new research on how and why teens are using AI companions. What findings stand out to you most?

Human interaction is still preferred & AI trust is mixed: 80% of teens who are AI companion users prioritize human friendships over AI companion interactions & 50% express distrust in AI companion information & advice, though trust levels vary by age.
Join our Founder & CEO @jimsteyer in NY & D.C. for convos with @mrichtel on adolescence, smartphones & how we can raise a healthier, happier generation: stores.barnesandnoble.com/search?searchT…
One piece of good news on the Trump spending bill. Congratulations—and thank you—to everyone who pushed their representatives on this.
@CommonSense applauds the Senate's vote to strip out a proposal to ban state-level AI protections for 10 years from the tax and spending bill moving through Congress. Read my full statement here: commonsensemedia.org/press-releases…
“You wouldn't tell states they can't protect people from unsafe food or contaminated water. AI shouldn't be any different—especially when we don’t even know what it’ll look like in a year.” commonsensemedia.org/kids-action/ar… #KidsOnlineSafety #ai
In the next 24 hours, the Senate will vote on a dangerous 5-year ban on state #AI protections. It’s a dream for AI companies, but a nightmare for families. Please contact your senators TODAY to urge them to vote against this ban: p2a.co/r1Jylk8

Thank you for your leadership, Sen. @MarshaBlackburn! #AI
Just last year, millions of high school students said they knew a classmate who had been victimized by AI-generated image based sexual abuse. This is why countless organizations are opposing misguided efforts to block state laws on AI. We must stand with them.…
