Join host Josh Ochs on the SmartSocial.com Podcast as he talks with Dr. Dylan Smith, Assistant Superintendent for Student Learning in Oldham County Schools (Kentucky), about what ethical AI use really looks like for students and why “keeping the human in the loop” matters. Dr. Smith shares the digital safety trends schools are seeing nationwide, what has improved since Oldham County strengthened its phone policy, and how excessive screen time can shrink attention spans and amplify FOMO, stress, and poor sleep. They also dig into deepfakes and why “just joking” can still create real legal risk, plus you will hear teen advice on red flags when a stranger online gets too personal or pushes to meet offline. The episode closes with practical guardrails for AI in schools and simple ways families can build healthier habits together.
