Screenagers: Generation AI Premiere

Description

Join us for the premiere of Screenagers: Generation AI on Wednesday, September 9th at 7:00 PM, followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker. Screenagers: Generation AI examines how artificial intelligence has rapidly entered the lives of young people and what it means for their relationships, learning, and wellbeing. Just a few years ago, AI in kids' lives barely existed. Today, many are turning to chatbots for advice, friendship, and emotional support. Others use AI to write essays, solve homework, and shape their social lives. And kids are being targeted, from deepfake harassment to AI-generated content designed to encourage harm. Smartphones, social media, and endless screen time became rampant in children's lives long before society took the harms seriously. We can't afford to repeat that mistake with AI. Weaving together candid stories, cutting-edge science, and honest insights from adults and youth, the film confronts AI's risks while offering a path forward for young people's social, academic, and emotional well-being.
