OpenAI CEO Sam Altman proposed using ChatGPT to create personalized morning podcasts for families, sparking debate about AI replacing parent-child conversations. While some see it as a helpful tool for organizing family schedules, others worry it may reduce valuable interactions. Separately, a survey found over half of Australian children and teens use AI for personal and social reasons, including seeking advice on health and emotions, highlighting both opportunities and risks of AI in youth development.
