The Center for Universal Education at Brookings will host a conversation to examine the effects of AI slop on young children’s learning, development, and well-being, as well as the incentives driving its production. As the third event in the Generation AI Starts Early webinar series, the discussion will bring together perspectives from health, media, and policy to explore what AI-generated content means for young children, caregivers, policymakers, and the broader media ecosystem.
