The Real and Present Danger of AI, Chatbots and Online Gangs

In this episode, host Donna Rice Hughes talks with internet safety expert Rick Lane and retired ICAC commander John Pizzuro about how AI, chatbots, and online gangs are putting kids in danger. They explain how AI “digital companions” can mirror a child’s emotions, build unhealthy attachments, and even coach vulnerable teens toward self-harm, while online gangs like “764” use AI, deepfakes, and social media to groom and extort children.  Our guests explain why AI is so hard to detect, how predators no longer need to be tech-savvy, and why strong safety-by-design laws, age verification, and accountability for tech companies are urgently needed.
