We also look at the rise of AI as emotional support, with experts warning that these tools are no substitute for real mental health care. Finally, we explore how Gen Z’s career aspirations are running up against disappearing job opportunities and growing frustration around how their efforts are recognized.\n\nAI’s dominance in stories about teens and screens this week is impossible to ignore. We continue to believe that conversations about young people should be with them, not just about them. #ICYMI: we released our first Youth Insights Memo to help elevate teen voices. It features ten timely takeaways on how teens are navigating—and feeling about—AI in their everyday lives.\n\nOur Three for Thriving video recap breaks down these stories in under three minutes—watch it here for more context. Read on for the full roundup of news stories from this past week that sparked our team's curiosity. https://centerfordigitalthriving.kit.com/posts/three-for-thriving-no-7-last-week-s-news-on-youth-tech-well-being\n\nYou can follow along on LinkedIn, Instagram, or Bluesky or opt in here to have the next installment delivered direct to your inbox: https://centerfordigitalthriving.kit.com/threeforthriving"}
