Hello everyone, and welcome back to SMC’s weekly Substack live. This week, we return to the topic of AI, social media, and Gen Z. Now, since we last chatted about AI, a lot has happened and appeared in the media. Chatbot usage amongst young people has proven to be anything but smooth. AI models have rolled out and been met with generational frustration and anger. And most importantly, AI activists continue to push for meaningful regulations and changes to our digital status quo.
Now, there are no better people to discuss AI and its impact on Gen Z than our two conversationalists today. First, we have NextGen Board member and former Summer SMC Fellow– Sarah Martin. Next, we have Matthew Allaire, another NextGen Board member and Head of AI Policy at Design it For Us. Matthew carries a deep expertise not only through lived experience as a member of Gen Z but through deep research and dedication to understanding the world of artificial intelligence. So, thank you both– Sarah and Matthew– for joining today’s conversation.
