Getting the goods ethically

One of the most common ethical decisions kids face online relates to how they access and use content like music, games and videos.

Understanding AI and helping youth make the most of it

And if you’re a parent, guardian or teacher, are you prepared to teach youth how to use AI responsibly?

Is that a good thing or are we causing more issues for our futures?
