Description

School districts in Bucks and Philadelphia counties are using AI software to track students' online activities on school-issued devices. The idea is to prevent bullying, suicide, or even a school shooting. However, critics say there are a host of downsides. Host Trenae Nuri talks with Emily Rizzo, reporter for WHYY News, about her recent reporting on this type of software, where it's used locally, and the questions this technology raises for parents and school districts.

City Cast Philly is the daily news podcast about the city you love (and maybe sometimes hate?) and the Philadelphians who are working hard every day to make this place better. Each weekday morning, host Trenae Nuri will chat with people all across Philly’s diverse neighborhoods about issues that matter to you. Whether that’s what do I even do on the weekends in this city with endless options, or how do I get the bus to actually stop, or how is this city going to keep our kids safe and educated? City Cast Philly is here for it all. It’s that energetic, informative conversation you might overhear at your neighborhood coffee shop. But with City Cast Philly, you’re always welcome to join in.
