Fiona and Holly discuss how AI would even go about killing us, what the various theories are behind the “killer AI” announcements and what we can actually do about it as parents.

This is after a senior safety researcher working on Claude claimed that he thinks there's a greater than 10% chance that AI will kill all humans in the next decade which really didn’t help Holly’s fears about AI.

Plus we talk about how Sam Altman’s claim that our kids “will never be smarter than AI” is actually quite insulting.

We discuss the video posted by American Mum Kalie Robins after she found Meta AI suggesting to followers that they ask detailed questions about her young children.

And Fiona shares a way to block nude images on your child’s phone.

Meta's AI glasses and an Instagram AI feature that generated images from public photos, Holly and Fiona break down the privacy risks for parents in this AI parenting podcast.

Recorded just before Meta pulled the Instagram feature, this episode looks at privacy, ethical design in AI products, whether these features are actually needed, and the risk of everyday bullying alongside more extreme misuse. As the final episode of the season, Holly and Fiona also reflect on how it's gone.

New episodes return in September.

Topics covered:

• Instagram's AI image feature, and why it was taken down after backlash
• The privacy risk of bullying and misuse that's separate from the "worst case" concerns that got most of the coverage
• Meta's AI glasses and the privacy questions they raise
• Toy Story 5's message
• Reflections on the season and what's coming next
