Kids on screens: Good, bad or the future of learning? - The Sunday Story

It's the debate of our time. How much is too much and what's the impact of screentime for children? With a proposed ban on social media for under 16s being debated in the UK, and children arriving at primary school swiping books like phones, we take a deep dive into the impact, and future, of screentime and AI in schools. Actress and campaigner Sophie Winkelman, a prominent voice of the dangers of increased screentime for children and Ben Gomes, Chief Technologist at Google, who is leading in the implementation of AI in schools, set out the arguments.


Guests:

  • Sophie Winkleman, actress, campaigner and trustee of charity School-Home Support.
  • Ben Gomes, Chief Technologist, Learning and Sustainability, Google.

Host: Manveen Rana.

Producer: Dave Creasey.
