Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

It’s Not You vs. Your Teen — It’s All of Us vs. Addictive Tech | Dino Ambrosi
Q: What practical steps can parents take this week to help their teens with screen time?
Move the phone charger away from the bed, audit notifications to reduce interruptions, and consider grayscale displays to reduce screen appeal, paired with conversations that focus on goals and collaboration rather than control.
It’s Not You vs. Your Teen — It’s All of Us vs. Addictive Tech | Dino Ambrosi
Q: What inspired Project Reboot and how did it start?
Dino describes starting from a UC Berkeley-based course that taught students to build a healthier relationship with technology, evolving into assemblies, workshops, and a broader program after observing results and recognizing the need for scalable, campus-wide cultural change.
Is It Fair? Navigating Screen Rules with Multiple Kids | Kaitlin Tiches
Q: So, how would you explain that in practical terms? What is parental mediation?
Active mediation involves talking with children about what they're viewing, co-viewing to understand context, and applying age-appropriate restrictions. The goal is to support healthy media habits through ongoing education and shared experiences, not just to enforce rules.
Is Your Child's AI Companion Safe? A Startup CEO Explains | Vivian Chong
Q: Does UpGuard look at how AI companions answer and try to create empathy?
Yes, the team evaluates outputs for tone, age-appropriateness, and alignment with behavioral therapy best practices, aiming to ensure empathetic responses don't cross into inappropriate or misleading human-like claims.
Is Your Child's AI Companion Safe? A Startup CEO Explains | Vivian Chong
Q: How could parents check if an AI tool has guardrails in place? Is there a test they can run at home?
Parents should engage in a digital literacy approach: discuss goals and risks with their child, review safety features and terms, and prompt-test the chatbot with scenarios to see how it responds, helping determine if guardrails are working.
