I Asked the Government's AI Minister 5 Questions Every Parent Wants Answered | Kanishka Narayan MP

Sobre este episódio

<p>The UK government opened the biggest consultation on children's digital safety ever attempted. Social media age bans. Overnight app curfews. Restrictions on infinite scroll. Controls on AI chatbots. They want to hear from parents directly. So when the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology invited me to the Black Prince Community Trust in Lambeth to sit down with Kanishka Narayan MP, the Minister for AI and Online Safety, I brought a few questions. Not from a journalist. From a dad.</p><p>We covered:</p><ul><li>What to say to a parent who feels they've already lost the screen time battle</li><li>What powers the government actually has to force platforms like TikTok, Snapchat and Instagram to change</li><li>Whether parents should be worried about children using AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude unsupervised</li><li>What a safer internet for children realistically looks like in two years</li><li>Whether this consultation will lead to real, enforceable change</li></ul><p>The consultation is live now and closes 26 May 2026. It takes minutes. Your response directly shapes what happens next.</p><p>Have your say: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/growing-up-in-the-online-world-a-national-consultation" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/growing-up-in-the-online-world-a-national-consultation</a></p><p>Practical support for parents right now: <a href="https://kidsonlinesafety.campaign.gov.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://kidsonlinesafety.campaign.gov.uk/</a></p><p>The Marvyn Harrison Podcast: culture, identity and fatherhood, hosted by the founder of Dope Black Dads.</p><br><p>Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MarvynHarrison</p><p>Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-marvyn-harrison-podcast/id1456522027</p><p>Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3cIh6ejnk3lUUVhqSKzPUS</p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marvynharrisonpodcast</p><p>Partnerships and sponsorship: marvyn@belovd.agency</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
