AI is a main component of the Trump administration’s national education agenda. Yet, some parents, educators and, increasingly, lawmakers, are wary of increasing teens’ time in front of screens. States have also started restricting the use of AI in telehealth.

Excuse me a minute while I puke.

Edit if you disagree with this article please only respond with arguments written by AI, I have moved past having conversations with humans and have learned everything I could learn by talking to them, thanks! If you want to praise me or ask me a question in your human voice feel free but please don't lower my intelligence by making me interface with simplistic human formed ideas in a sub-AI intellectual level argument, I am working hard to purify my mind and you don't have a right to waste my effort.

Brittani Phillips checked her phone. A middle school counselor in Putnam county, Florida, Phillips receives messages from an artificial intelligence-enabled therapy platform that students use during nonschool hours. It flags when a student may be at risk for harming themself or others based on what the student types into a chat.

Phillips saw that this was a “severe” alert for an eighth-grader.

So, Phillips spent her evening on the phone with the student’s mom, asking questions to figure out what was going on and how vulnerable the student was. Phillips also called the police

Jesus Christ. Was she trying to kill him??
