The Tech Shock podcast – Season round-up with VoiceBox's Natalie Foos
“We need more thorough testing. We need more young people at the table during the development of AI bots. What happens to images that are sent to these bots? What’s going to happen to a generation who can’t distinguish when they’re talking to a human and when they’re talking to a bot?”
VoiceBox is a youth content and consultation platform that showcases the talent of young creators around the world. At the same time, they ensure that young people have a voice through their work with government bodies, tech firms, and other decision-makers.
In this episode, director of VoiceBox Natalie Foos joins Vicki for a roundup of season nine. They pick out some season highlights, unpack the recent WeProtect global summit, and discuss VoiceBox’s upcoming work as well as the topics that currently matter most to young people.
