The State of AI Monthly Report gives parents a clear, trustworthy snapshot of the fast-moving world of artificial intelligence. Each month, we break down the biggest AI changes and headlines into plain language, highlighting what really matters for families. You’ll see how new apps, features, and trends could impact your child’s safety, learning, and faith — without having to dig through tech blogs or newsfeeds yourself. The report includes real-life examples, practical action steps, and conversation starters, so you can feel informed, confident, and one step ahead in guiding your kids through the digital age.

Every month, we spotlight the apps, platforms, and AI tools your kids are most likely to encounter. Not every app is bad — some are fun, creative, and even educational. Others, however, come with risks that require a parent’s attention.

To make it simple, we break them down into three categories:

• Green: Helpful & Positive
  Apps that can spark creativity, support learning, or encourage healthy connection. These are the tools you may want to introduce or encourage with your kids.

• Yellow: Proceed with Guidance
  Apps that are widely used but come with risks — things like privacy issues, addictive features, or exposure to harmful content. With the right settings, boundaries, and conversations, these can often be used safely.

• Red: High-Risk & Harmful
  Apps or features that are unsafe for kids, often designed in ways that make them difficult to monitor or full of inappropriate content. These are the ones to block or avoid altogether.

With Apps in Focus, you don’t just know what to protect your kids from — you also know what tools might help them thrive.

Each month, you’ll get a 10–15 minute parent-friendly video that takes one critical digital issue and unpacks it clearly. These aren’t quick clips — they’re focused, practical guides that help you understand the what, why, and how of a single risk or trend.

In every deep dive, you’ll learn:

• What it is → Plain-language explanation of the tech or issue.

• Why it matters → How it impacts kids’ safety, learning, or faith.

• What to watch for → Real examples of how kids are encountering it.

• Steps you can take → Actionable ways to set safeguards, talk with your kids, and guide them wisely.

• Family Conversation Starter → A simple, non-intimidating question to spark dialogue at home.
