Summary
In this episode of Doing Tech Right, Kerry Gallagher and Larry Magid explore how conversational AI can feel human, why that can be both useful and risky, and what it means for children, families, and educators. They discuss the importance of verifying AI-generated information, helping young people use AI to support rather than replace learning, and the growing concerns around AI deepfakes and “nudification,” especially targeting girls. Drawing on recent audience questions from a California event on women and girls’ online safety, they offer practical advice for parents, schools, and young people on responding to emerging risks while keeping the focus on resilience, media literacy, and informed, not fear-based, decisions. 00:00 Welcome to Doing Tech 00:29 In Person Again 01:19 Before AI Era 01:46 Why AI Feels Human 04:07 Verify Before You Trust 06:18 Kids Using AI for School 07:58 Smart Homework Examples 09:35 Deepfakes Targeting Girls 11:18 What Is Nudification 13:22 If It Happens Tell Someone 14:21 Building Trusted Adults Network 15:23 From Deepfakes to Sextortion 16:15 Sextortion First Steps 16:30 You Are Not To Blame 17:45 Law Enforcement Perspective 18:59 School Response Playbook 20:46 Handling The Classmate 22:10 Accountability And Motives 24:06 Talking About Deepfakes 26:54 Parenting Without Fear 28:46 Resilience And Wrap Up
