Cyber Dialogues: The Gen AI Talk: Practical Online Safety for the Next Generation

Welcome to Cyber Dialogues, powered by Palo Alto Networks! In this essential episode, host Sharmin Jassal dives into the fastest-moving trend in cyber - the digital lives of our children with the brilliant minds behind Cyberlite, co-founders Nina Bual and Michelle Yao.

The digital world is changing too fast to track, and our kids are at the forefront. Nina and Michelle share some truly eye-opening statistics:

• The average two-year-old is now spending two hours a day online.
• Children are adopting Gen AI tools like ChatGPT and Co-pilot much faster than adults.
• Up to 60% of the content kids see on YouTube is AI-generated, a phenomenon they call "AI slop."

This is more than just a screen-time conversation; it's about core cyber safety. We discuss why "Information is safety," and the critical need to shift the focus from preventing AI use to teaching kids to use it responsibly.

Whether you're a parent, a teacher, or a concerned cyber professional, this 20-minute chat is packed with the practical, actionable commentary you need to help secure the next generation of digital citizens.
