Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now let's also do this because just to bring people
up to speed, there are so many avenues of this. There's,
of course, what's going on in the world. There's AI,
there's big tech, there's legislation, there's government, there's this sluggish,
if not torpid, a non movement of government. And also
there are also some wonderful people, by the way, who
(00:21):
are helping out tremendously. So let's just take it from
any angle. I don't want to direct you. What do
you think? And this is so important, what do you think?
Where should we start off with? What you consider to
be critical?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Listen, this is back to school time. I think that
is a good point to jump off from because, like
you said, there is so much happening, and what people
do they do become too overwhelmed, so they close their eyes,
they shut the door, they don't want to address anything. Okay,
so we have to break it down. So let's start
with the back to school time. But basically this week
I was thinking about it and it's you know, kids
(00:57):
are moving. It's faster and faster to this digital and
dangerous world, much faster, and something I learned from you.
I mean, as a lawyer, you know the law lags
behind technology. So the kids are moving into this dangerous
world of AI. Now it's in this schools and it's
moving faster than parents than we have the warriors, than
(01:18):
institutions you know protecting them can even keep up with.
So we've got to break it down. It's back to
school time, and right now it is a good time
for you to review the top of the school year.
What's happening in your child's classroom. When I say child,
you know, this includes kids in high school, this includes
your kids go to college. I know it's more difficult
(01:40):
when the kids are older, but you've got to have
that conversation with them about technology in the classroom. You
have every rate as this parent or caregiver go in,
you know, try to get some of your friends other
parents go in and ask, you know, what what kind
of technology will be in the classroom. How many hours
a day will my child be on the technology? What
(02:02):
is expected of them? What are the programs? Because I
am tired of hearing the beginning of every school year,
and last year was bad, this year is worse. Okay,
because some schools Florida just started, Georgia started first. Here
in New York, we go back in two weeks. Parents
usually get a list and you know, parental consent to
use these platforms. And last year in New York it
(02:25):
was like thirty one thirty one platforms lineup. But what
they don't tell you those thirty one platforms, your child
is open to other platforms using these platforms. If this
makes sense to you, you know, again it's opening the
world to them. So we've got to find out exactly
what's going on in the classroom, what our children will
(02:46):
be doing. But again, you can do all of this
to be honest, because that is what we are. We
give the truth at the Warriors. You've got to start
in your home. You've got to start the discussion with
your child. It's got to be a family discussion. You've
got to include your children, make them a part of it.
Kids don't want to be told don't do this, don't
do this, DA, You've got to just talk to them.
(03:09):
The kids are very smart, very savvy. What are.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
In case somebody doesn't understand, what exactly are we talking about?
What are these items? What are they? What are the
real specific worries and fears that you're highlighting here? What
in particular.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I'm highlighting that we have learned so much about the
online world, about the internet, from studies, from doctors, from
from just kids themselves, from parents. Right, Remember, parents are
the first line of defense. Now I say that a lot,
but I have to tell you something nobody really brings up.
(03:47):
What about all the kids out there that don't have
right really parents watching them. That's always what are we
going to do with all these kids? So they end
up perhaps in schools. So we have teachers. Now the
teachers are reporting and here where we are in New
York City, New York State. Uh, the teachers are very confused.
(04:09):
Now they're not going to say this out loud, pretty
much because if they have their jobs right, their jobs
are at stake, their livelihood about all of this technology
that they've been forced to put in the classrooms told
they're using it. And also AI. Nobody understands about AI
in the now. Now absolutely Look several years ago, overall
(04:34):
the public school education system in the United States was
sold the Bill of Goods. It sounded good at the time.
We want to put chromebooks, which are from Google. We're
going to put millions of them in the classrooms. We're
going to give every child this this tablet, and it
will help them. They won't have to carry textbooks. They'll
have the knowledge at their fingertips. It'll be great. Now
(04:57):
we've learned anything. But that was the begin of technology
replacing not only the textbook, the notebook, the pen and
the pencil, the actual teacher, the human being in front
of the classroom that can read a child better than
a computer. So now we're down to I mentioned thirty
one different platforms in New York that parents were checking
(05:20):
off last year. We'll see what it is this year.
And those platforms include things like roadblocks, which we the
warriors have talked about extensively. It's a gaming app. Okay. Now,
the problem is on all of these platforms, the chromebooks
were put into classrooms with no guardrails. Google could have easily,
(05:41):
you know, put safety by default on these millions of devices.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
And they need more kind of safety. Give us an
idea of some of the safety what they could have done.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
They could have turned off certain you know, URLs and
things like that, so a child did not have access.
Oh you have your chromebook, Okay, you can also go
on this is an example. Could also access OnlyFans. Do
you see to how simpleness would have been if they
would How about you know, I was speaking to somebody yesterday.
Let me break this down a little bit in the
(06:11):
justice system, I'll say, and she could not, you know,
you could only use certain things on the computer, you know,
certain websites, certain URLs. You can't access everything. Right, This
person was telling me, why didn't we put you know,
in front of children? And we're talking now. Computers are
in the classrooms k through twelve. Why would listen? Why
(06:35):
would kids in kindergarten need computers? Why would kids you know,
there's different consensus on this. Why would any kids, you know,
before seventh eighth grade, maybe for computer science, maybe to
learn some coding, having a you know, you know, a
technology class. I'm saying, it's replacing the human teacher, the
(06:56):
teachers in some school. A lot of schools actually reporting
back to me, my warriors on the ground across the
country are now managing the digital footprint of each child
in the classroom. They have the teachers on their desk
a big computer with all these little boxes with each
child's name, because those children are engaging all a lot.
(07:19):
Most of their academics are done online.
Now let's also do this because just to bring people
