American teens have lost their faith in Big Tech, according to a new report from Common Sense Media, a nonprofit offering reviews and ratings for media

Summary

A new Common Sense Media report finds that U.S. teens overwhelmingly distrust Big Tech companies like Google, Apple, Meta, TikTok, and Microsoft.

Over 60% doubt these firms prioritize user well-being or safety over profits, and 53% believe they make unethical design choices.

Mistrust extends to AI, with 47% skeptical about responsible AI decisions. Many teens report being misled by fake content online.

Concerns about AI transparency and data privacy are widespread, with 74% calling for stronger safeguards and clearer labeling of AI-generated content.

    Based off the summary, it seems that AI implementation is quickly dismantling its own future. I wonder if responsible AI implementation can fix its bad reputation to the greater public.

      You mean an actual finished, polished, AI product with usefulness and key privacy attributes?

      Mmmmmmaybe. But the odds that extraterrestrials get tired of waiting and just show up is about the same. roughly between 0.001% and divide by zero error.
