AI Is Changing How We Keep Kids Safe with Nidhi Srivastava
Episode 2379
Friday, 9 October, 2026
As AI makes digital manipulation more convincing, keeping kids safe online is becoming about much more than teaching them what not to click.In this conversation, Nidhi Srivastava, founder of DigiArmorX, shares the experience with her son that led her to rethink digital safety education.We explore the growing sophistication of scams and manipulation, including AI-generated voices and deepfakes, and why cybersecurity, AI literacy, digital citizenship, and resilience can't be treated as separate skills.Nidhi also explains how DigiArmorX gives students opportunities to encounter realistic digital scenarios, make decisions, and learn from the consequences—not simply memorize rules or take quizzes. Learn more about today's sponsors, Playworks and IXL:We’re proud to be sponsored by Playworks, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with evidence-based practices that help schools improve the health and well-being of children by increasing opportunities for physical activity and safe, meaningful play.If you’re a school or district leader struggling with the challenge of chronic absenteeism, as so many are across the U.S., you may not realize that structured recess is a research-backed approach to keep kids in school. In fact, a UC Berkeley study of Title I schools found that those partnering with Playworks had significantly lower chronic absenteeism rates. Further, Mathematica research demonstrated that Playworks schools spent 27% less time transitioning from recess back to learning, saving teachers valuable instructional time. These results are possible for your students, too.
