OpenAI’s new “Apps” feature in ChatGPT lets users access third-party apps like Canva, Spotify, and Expedia directly through ChatGPT, bypassing app stores. While innovative, this shift raises major privacy and parental oversight concerns. If youth use ChatGPT, they could access countless apps unseen by traditional parental controls. Digital parenting must evolve as fast as AI itself.

Teens aren’t tech-zombies—they want guidance, not bans. They’re using tech thoughtfully and ask adults to engage, not judge, in their onlife journey.

AI is reshaping education—used thoughtfully, it can enhance learning, not replace teachers. Critical thinking and ethical use must stay central.
