Guest: Giovanni Capriglione, Texas State Representative, District 98
- Barna’s research has shown that nearly 3/4th (72%) of parents are worried about or concerned with AI’s impact on their children - but also that only 17% have actually taken steps to learn more about AI - so, basically parents are afraid and under-informed
- One concern expressed about AI is the potential likelihood of decreased social connection, adding to the epidemic of loneliness and isolation this generation is already facing
- AI is more complex than “if/then” commands - it is a system that can be trained to use data for specific purposes
- Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed Rep. Capriglione’s bill (HB 2060) into law creating the Artificial Intelligence Advisory Council that will study the use of AI in state government
- AI collects data points - the average person has at least 100,000 data points collected on them - which means that AI can know you better than you know yourself! Digital privacy laws are being passed so that people can begin to see the information that has been collected about them.
- The best way to protect yourself is to reduce the amount of information that AI can collect on you - be aware of this
- Social media has one goal - to make sure you don’t put your phone down - the more you scroll, the more data that is being collected about you!
