Lisa and I have been looking forward to this moment for quite a while, and we are thrilled to announce that TODAY we released Screenagers: Generation AI, and it is premiering around the country.
The film explores what we can do to mitigate the risks artificial intelligence poses to young people's learning, relationships, and mental health.
Through the stories shared in the film, cutting-edge science, and deeply honest insights from adults and youth, Screenagers: Generation AI provides an emotional look at the risks and what we can do right now in kids' and teens' social and academic lives to promote wellbeing.
And just this morning, the movie was featured on Good Morning America! Check that out here:
We believe in the importance of bringing everyone together, youth and adults alike, to find solutions to all the screen-related challenges, and we’ve stayed committed to bringing people together to watch our movies in person.
For years, we have heard how committees have formed, how families and classrooms have partnered, and how new friendships and a new sense of not being alone have emerged when people gather together to watch our movies.

If you happen to be in the San Francisco Bay Area or Seattle on Wednesday night, we are hosting premiere screenings of the movie and we would love to see you there.
Here are links to those screenings:
We've been sharing preview screeners with prospective hosts over the past few weeks, and so many of them took the time to write back with their thoughts. Their feedback genuinely shaped the final cut. With their permission, here's some of what they told us:
"Overall, I feel like this is your best film yet! I thought that it really captured the potential good as well as the harms and dangers of Gen AI, both on mental health and learning."
"Parents desperately need information. This documentary is chock-full of facts that are presented in a very easy format. I don't know a single parent that wouldn't benefit from watching this."
"I felt like the film had a lot of nuance, which I think is missing from many discussions of AI. I don't think it was heavy-handed or trying to scare people, but it outlined the many risks alongside ways in which AI could be rebuilt or reimagined with social good as a goal."
"I liked that there were multiple perspectives represented: students, teachers, parents, mental health experts, and more. The personal stories moved me and made the content memorable."
