Teens don’t treat AI like magic. They treat it like a wrench — something that's useful, but only as good as the person using it. On this episode, we sat down with students who’ve put AI tools to work in surprising ways. Between all their experiences, we saw a grounded view of AI as a study aid, a creative partner, and sometimes a risky shortcut that demands stronger digital literacy. Jeremy’s experience highlighted accessibility and caution in the same breath. He told us how AI helped him while recovering from a concussion by simplifying textbook passages, but also mentioned being fed inaccurate weightlifting advice by a chatbot. His fact-checking routine for AI (ask for links, check dates, consider the consensus, and talk to a human expert) could be a model for any family to use. Julia pushed the limits of AI tutoring by attempting seven AP exams. She passed the exams where she already had background knowledge, but stumbled in subjects where she didn't. Her story showed how AI can accelerate learning but still can't replace it. If you care about raising capable, critical-thinking teens in an AI-saturated world, this conversation will offer helpful insight and practical advice. aiEDU: The AI Education Project aiEDU.org linkedin.com/company/aiedu/ Dr. Aliza Pressman DrAliza.com linkedin.com/in/aliza-pressman-ph-d-279b7125/
