🔵Education and Mental Health in the Age of AI and What’s Coming Next | Dr. Marina A. Badillo-Diaz

People are adopting AI faster than organizations and governments can prepare. Now millions are using ChatGPT not for coding, but for mental health support, personal advice, and social-emotional connection. Dr. Marina A. Badillo-Diaz https://www.linkedin.com/in/drmarinabadillo-diaz/ delivers a sobering assessment from the intersection of education, mental health, and AI: the technology that launched as a coding assistant has become a companion that vulnerable youth turn to at 2 a.m., with tragic consequences including suicides linked to AI chatbots like Character AI. The last 36 months reshaped society; the next 36 will define it. Drawing from her work training 4,500+ social workers on ethical AI use, Badillo-Diaz maps both the breakthroughs (AI scribes reducing documentation burden, personalized learning, accessibility for disabilities) and breakdowns (deepfakes, child pornography, misinformation, the digital divide). Her central argument: AI has a knowledge-based problem. Built by humans in a world of racism, sexism, and classism, it inherits those biases. The guiding principle moving forward must be technology that strengthens human judgment rather than replaces it, with social workers leading the charge on ethical design. • CHAPTERS • 0:00 - Introduction 2:47 - Three years of generative AI: From novelty to dependence 6:01 - Why people now use AI for mental health and personal advice 8:53 - AI's knowledge-based problem 11:03 - Suicide, deepfakes, and safety outpaced by innovation 17:15 - Education, workforce, and preserving humanity *** Join the Insight Jam today! — https://insightjam.com/ • INSIGHT JAM EXPERT KEYNOTE • Experience the power of Insight Jam LIVE!: "The Soft Side of AI: Education, Empathy & Human Readiness," featuring exclusive keynote presentations from Solutions Review Experts and industry-leading voices.
