Ghosts in the Machine: Real Scares from the AI Front
AI may be the productivity potion of our time, but left unchecked, it’s also summoning real-world horror stories. Here are four of 2025’s spookiest AI tales—every one true—and how smart governance can keep you from becoming the next cautionary headline.
When Growth Is More Important Than Safeguards: The Real Cost for Youth in the AI Era
In the rush to monetize generative AI tools, something critical is being sidelined: the welfare of young people. When Sam Altman announced a new direction for OpenAI’s next-generation system — ChatGPT‑5 (and the related move toward more “friend-like” and adult-oriented chat experiences) — the company claimed we now have “better tools” to make these experiences safe. But as someone who works daily with students and educators navigating the realities of AI in the classroom and at home, I’m profoundly unconvinced. My issue isn’t porn, or whether someone dresses up the feature as just “adult content.” My issue is that we haven’t really protected our young people yet, nor have we sufficiently educated broad populations about how GenAI works, what information it collects, and how it shapes relationships, emotions, and behaviors.
Request for Collaboration: Help Shape the AI & Data Safety Shield for Schools
Across the country, school leaders are navigating a growing paradox: AI is becoming part of classrooms, communications, and district operations — but the systems that keep students safe haven’t caught up. As part of my work in the EdSAFE AI Catalyst Fellowship, I’m studying this challenge through a research project called the AI & Data Safety Shield for Schools. The EdSAFE AI Catalyst Fellowship is a national program that supports applied research and innovation to advance ethical, transparent, and safe AI in education. Each Fellow explores a Problem of Practice—a real-world challenge that, if solved, could help schools use AI responsibly and equitably.
