Sherry Turkle

As an expert in how technology affects human relationships and development, I strongly believe that children should not have smartphones before high school. Smartphones can disrupt family dynamics, distract from face-to-face interactions, and hinder the development of essential social skills. Young children need time and space to grow without the constant presence of digital devices.

As an advocate for genuine human connection, I believe that disclosing AI presence during interactions may hinder natural communication and prevent people from engaging authentically. Instead, we should focus on developing AI that complements human interaction without the need for explicit identification.
