ICYMI: Our Founder + CEO, Tim Estes, shared Angel AI's goal to transform the digital landscape for kids in light of the increasing online dangers and #BigTech's failure to prioritize child safety.

Last year, the U.S. Surgeon General issued a warning about social media use. Now, he's asking that social platforms come with warning labels.

Our Founder and CEO, Tim Estes, underscores a critical point: “It’s a lot more stimulation, and for developing brains, that has a lot of addictiveness to it," he explains, "literally driving a kind of dopamine feedback loop that makes kids just start to feel that if they don’t get enough of it that something’s wrong — much like a narcotic.” Learn how to build healthy relationships between your kids and modern tech.
