I’ve always believed curiosity is an act of courage — the willingness to ask what feels like the dumb question, to admit what we don’t know, and to learn in public. In Featured, I’ll explore the topics that we’re all trying to figure out together, with people who know far more than I do, using my own fears, mistakes, and stories as the starting point for understanding.

I know many of us have long been concerned about the next generation of young kids and how technology is shaping them. Imran Ahmed and the Center for Countering Digital Hate recently published a groundbreaking and deeply disturbing report called Fake Friend, revealing that ChatGPT is producing dangerous advice for kids as young as 13 - on everything from self-harm to substance abuse.

I’m joined by two extraordinary guests to help us unpack parenting in the age of companion AI: Imran Ahmed, founder and CEO of the Center for Countering Digital Hate, and Dr. Aliza Pressman, developmental psychologist, parenting expert, and host of Raising Good Humans. Together, we explore the findings of Fake Friend and discuss real steps parents, educators, and policymakers can take to help kids grow up safely in a digital world that’s evolving faster than our ability to regulate or even understand it.
