  • I'm Rosie Blau.

  • And I'm Jason Palmer.

  • Today on the show, does AI stop kids learning?

  • And why Japan's music cafes are striking a chord abroad?

  • First up though.

  • and increasingly concerned about how many corners kids are cutting with chatbots these days.

  • Michelle Hennessy leads Graphic Detail, our online data journalism section.
