Why We Must Talk to Our Kids About Social Media and AI
This week, I had the privilege of speaking with over 700 students at Hoërskool Stella and Vryburg High School. It was an incredible experience to discuss the vital importance of critical thinking in the age of social media and artificial intelligence.
In a world filled with information, misinformation, and AI-generated content, teaching our children to think critically is more important than ever. It's not about shielding them from technology, but rather equipping them with the skills to navigate it safely and wisely. We need to have open, honest conversations at home about social media safety, online privacy, and how to spot fake news or manipulated content.
Our kids need to understand that what they see online isn't always real, and that the content they create and share has real-world consequences. Let’s keep the conversation going!
