TEENS ARE (LITERALLY) IN LOVE WITH AI 😳

What’s up? According to new national survey data from the Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT), nearly one in five high schoolers say they or someone they know has had a romantic relationship with AI, and over 40% report using AI for companionship.

Want some context? CDT surveyed about 1,000 high school students, 1,000 parents, and 800 teachers to explore how teens are using AI. While most use it for schoolwork, a growing number are turning to chatbots and virtual companions for emotional connection. Some teens say they talk to AI for comfort, advice, or even to simulate romantic relationships.

Why is this significant? AI companionship is blurring the line between human and machine relationships. For teens, it can fill emotional gaps and offer support, encouragement, and a listening ear—but it also raises serious questions about privacy, mental health, and what it means to connect in a digital age.

What’s new? Google has launched Gemini Enterprise, an AI subscription plan that lets nontechnical employees build and use smart work agents while adding new governance and security features.

How does this work? Gemini Enterprise ($30 per user per month) is aimed at large companies, while a version called Gemini Business ($21 per user) targets smaller firms, startups, and individuals. Both plans include prebuilt AI agents for data science, customer engagement, and software development, plus integration with tools from Microsoft, Salesforce, and Box. The subscriptions also include “Model Armor,” which helps organizations inspect and block unsafe AI responses. These offerings build on Google’s earlier Agentspace tool, which will now be folded into Gemini subscriptions at no extra cost.

Why does this matter? AI “agents” are becoming digital coworkers, automating routine tasks and freeing humans to focus on creative or strategic work. By making agent creation simple and secure, Google is positioning itself to compete with OpenAI and Microsoft for dominance in the workplace AI race.

What’s going on? A federal judge is deciding how much to limit Google’s business practices after ruling that it used unfair methods to dominate internet search. This time, the ruling is focusing on whether those limits should also apply to its new Gemini AI app.

Want some context? In a Washington, D.C. courtroom, Google argued that it should be allowed to bundle its Gemini AI app with other Google products like YouTube and Maps. The Justice Department disagreed, saying that would give Google an unfair advantage—just like when it forced phone makers to feature Google Search in the past. The judge has already ruled that Google broke antitrust laws but is still deciding on the punishment. Some ideas, like forcing Google to sell off Chrome, were rejected, while others, like banning exclusive deals that could lock competitors from getting access to the same opportunities, are still being considered.

Why is this significant? This decision could shape how much power Google has in the fast-growing world of AI, and whether regulators can stop tech giants from controlling new technologies before competitors get a fair chance.
