7 Reasons Teens Say No to AI

The Wall Street Journal (31 Jan 2026) reports that many teenagers are confused about AI, even as it grows in popularity.

Here are the main reasons teens say “no” or “not yet” to AI:

Key Points :

• Teens are concerned that using AI might limit their creativity. They fear it could lessen human effort in art, writing, and problem-solving.

• Some people worry that AI, such as chatbots, might hurt their communication skills and relationships.

• Teens think AI might lower the value of human-made content. They worry it could misuse artists' and creators' work.

• Environmental & Ethical Issues: Some worry about AI's environmental impact. Data centres need a lot of energy. There's also concern about misuse, like creating fake images or harmful content.

• Many teens doubt AI's accuracy. They are careful about misleading or incorrect information.

• Other studies provide more insight into teens' feelings about AI:

• Usage vs. Trust: Surveys show that many teens use AI chatbots for fun and serious questions. However, their trust and satisfaction levels vary. Some people enjoy AI chats just as much as talking to humans. Others, however, still prefer real conversations.

Nvidia CEO Huang denies he is unhappy with OpenAI, says 'huge' investment planned

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang denied reports of being unhappy with OpenAI, calling them “nonsense.” He announced Nvidia's plans for a “huge” investment in OpenAI, likely the largest ever. Huang expressed admiration for OpenAI’s work and its CEO, Sam Altman. Nvidia aims to join OpenAI’s current funding round.

Key Points :

• Huang also stated he does not expect the investment to exceed $100 billion.

• Background: Investment Plans and Reports

• Reports, including one from The Wall Street Journal, say Nvidia may pause its plan to invest as much as $100 billion in OpenAI. Concerns about the deal's size and structure, plus OpenAI’s business “discipline,” added to this uncertainty. Nvidia originally proposed a long-term partnership involving both capital and advanced hardware support.

• OpenAI is seeking up to $100 billion in total funding. Other big tech firms, like Amazon, are exploring huge investments. This could be around $50 billion. Nvidia, Microsoft, and others are also thinking about contributions in this bigger round.

Musk's Starlink updates privacy policy to allow consumer data to train AI

SpaceX’s Starlink has updated its Global Privacy Policy, effective January 15, 2026. This change allows customer data to train machine learning and AI models, unless users opt out. It also includes sharing data with service providers and unnamed third-party partners.

Key points :

• What Data Starlink May Use

• Starlink’s policy states it collects various user information, such as:

• Location information

• Contact and payment details

• User IP addresses

• Communication data (including audio, visuals, files, and insights from other personal information)

• However, it does not clearly specify which data will be used for AI training.

• 🤖 Why This Matters

• AI Ambitions & Business Strategy:

• This change fits with SpaceX’s bigger plans. These include a major IPO and discussions about merging with Elon Musk’s AI firm, xAI. This merger could leverage Starlink’s vast data for training AI models, such as the Grok chatbot. This move would boost Musk’s standing in the AI market.

• Privacy Concerns:

• Privacy advocates and consumer rights experts are worried about this shift. Using personal data widely without clear rules or sharing it with others can raise surveillance risks and lead to misuse. A technology law professor noted that the lack of clear limits is concerning for users.
