No charges laid against youths in Tasmanian school who used AI for sexual harassment. @HigginsDaryl said "such incidents shouldn't be possible & calls for greater “guardrails and safeguards” to be applied to AI platforms" @ThinkUKnow

The crises are not just in early childhood education and care sector, but across schools, sports, religious, arts, and other youth development organisations. So we need scholarship like this to keep us focused and aligned to the evidence in our efforts.
