You may have blocked ChatGPT on your child’s device and carefully approved the apps they use, but what if the platforms they use for school or in a browser have built-in generative AI? Many parents do not realize their children have access to AI chatbots and other generative AI tools through the apps they already trust.
In this episode, Kelly exposes six popular apps and platforms with embedded AI: GroupMe, Google Chrome, Apple Intelligence, Grammarly, Cana, and Quizlet. She explains what these tools can do, how students can access them without their parents realizing it, and which (if any) parental controls exist to restrict it. As Christian parents, we must see AI integration as more than just a risk of cheating, but as a disruption of human formation and the pursuit of wisdom
