Summary
This episode is in German.
Joel Kaczmarek talks with Daniel Wolff, a German digital-literacy trainer, former teacher and author of ‚Allein mit dem Handy‘, about how AI is reshaping childhood. Wolff argues the most-used children's AI is not ChatGPT but Meta AI inside WhatsApp, which completes homework from a photo and is tuned for engagement. He covers companion apps recently banned in China, the risk that children skip skills entirely rather than de-skill them, and the water and energy cost of AI data centres. The conversation includes distressing material, among it teenage suicide cases.
