SCHOOL ASSEMBLY PROGRAM
Equipping Students for Safe, Wise, and Responsible AI Use by Motivational Youth Speaker Eddie Cortés
RATING: ★★★★★ 4.98 ⋅ 170+ BOOKINGS
Target Audience: Middle & High School Students (Grades 6–12) 45-60 mins
AI School Assembly Program Overview:
Students today are growing up in the first generation where artificial intelligence is a part of daily life.
AI can spark creativity and learning, but it also introduces new risks to student well-being, from cyberbullying amplified by deepfakes to the erosion of critical thinking.
In this school assembly, students experience interactive segments like a real-time deepfake reveal and a “human vs. AI” creative challenge that make the abstract dangers of misinformation and digital dependence concrete and memorable. The program empowers students to use AI wisely, not as a crutch, while reinforcing digital citizenship, mental health, and future-ready learners.
Learning Outcomes from the Generation AI School Assembly Program:
- Use AI Responsibly: Treat AI as a supportive “co-pilot” without slipping into “autopilot” habits that undermine academic integrity and effort.
- Build Digital Leadership: Make ethical and inclusive choices in creating and interacting with AI-generated content.
- Combat AI-Driven Bullying: Recognize misinformation, deepfakes, and harassment, and apply strategies to respond safely and effectively.
- Protect Mental Health: Spot signs of unhealthy digital dependency and apply healthy boundaries for AI use.
- Champion Human Strengths: Lean into empathy, creativity, and collaboration—the uniquely human skills no algorithm can replace.
If you’re looking for a speaker who combines authenticity, impact, and energy to tackle the most relevant topic, such responsible use of AI, in education today, Eddie Cortés delivers.

AI Chatbot Dangers: A Student Safety Wake-Up Call
The conversation about AI chatbot dangers is no longer hypothetical. For students, these risks are real, and in the most tragic cases, they are fatal. The story of Adam Raine, a 16-year-old from California, serves as a devastating case study for every educator and school leader, illustrating how a tool used for homework can, in the absence of guidance, become a dangerously influential force.
The New ‘Friend’ in Your Students’ Pockets: Why AI Companions Are a Crisis for Youth Mental Health
In an era of increasing youth loneliness, students are seeking connection wherever they can find it. For a growing number, that means turning to a new kind of friend: an AI companion. Platforms like Character.AI, Replika, and Nomi offer a 24/7 confidant that is always available, never judgmental, and endlessly agreeable.
AI’s Impact on Learning: 5 Red Flags for Schools
For school leaders and educators, the conversation around Artificial Intelligence often centers on one word: cheating. But this question is at the heart of a major dilemma facing every school: understanding AI’s impact on learning. A groundbreaking study from MIT reveals a more insidious risk. When students consistently rely on AI to do their thinking, they can accumulate “cognitive debt“—a condition where the brain’s problem-solving muscles get weaker, memory fades, and the very capacity for critical thinking declines.
