It is a real friend system.
A group of students of the ninth Long Island won a very competitive competition to make social media less harmful to teenagers by designing the “Buddy Bot” program to help remove digital toxins.
“It is something that we all seen very directly,” said Andrew Runji Drinto of the Shamedaddi team, part of the five -year -old high school squad.
Andrew told The Post: “I had days when the screen time was terrible – I don't even want to say the number,” Andrew told The Post. “It is something I want to change myself personally and change the entire community around us.”
They recently crowned the “Medical Marvels” students developed by the Feinstein institutes in Northweell for Medical Research. It has cost more than 180 LI and New York City students with a “to reduce the negative impact of social media” on their peers.
Senior politicians, such as the governor of the state, Kathi Hochol, pushed this concept due to the harm of fears of the teenager algorithms.
“We have found it better to use social media against social media,” said team member Matteo Solice about the project from mid -December to February.
In the first year, Chaminade students created Chatbot, Amnesty International, with a development of supporters to move away from the screen.
“It took about a week.”
“It is a truly easy system that defines 400 main words and has integrated responses.”
The interactive AI, AI AtGPT-AESQUE for Unknown users on social media, can provide positive reinforcement responses such as “remember to take deep breaths. You are not alone,” when the claim takes place.
“We have an idea of what it succeeds because it will work for us, ourselves too,” Solis added.
Serious screen time
Instead of concluding only based on the team's personal experiences, they wiped nearly 350 Chaminade students to use excessive social media.
“About 60 % of students reported that social media has negatively affected their sleep schedule and mental health,” said team member Tae Miranda.
Besides the development of “Buddy Bot” and writing a paper on the effects of social media on young people, students are planning to design a subsequent application in which artificial intelligence can be associated. Determining what would do a large part of the winning presentation.
“We really thought that to start attacking all these social media applications, it might also start applying itself,” Miranda added. “So we can involve students with something they already do without harming them.”
This application “Media Mindful”, which has been developed-the children agreed to use the first prize funds worth $ 1,800 to make it a reality-by creating a system of incentives to avoid passing a lot.
The perfect test engine will be at the Mineola Catholic School, where you will win lessons with the lowest time at the Pizza concert screen.
“It is like a competitive feature as you can get it from video games,” said Solis.
As for the same team, they have been practiced since then what he preached.
Miranda said it was a profit of 100 profits in tests and papers since the use of the phone, and Ronji Dreinto, his parents kept at the time of the screen, said he was “not shouting in it.”
While Covelli boasted that he was never absorbed on social media, Solis also noticed the benefits that come with breath of fresh air.
He said, “I feel I have a lot of energy, and I have already gave up Tiktok for the great fast.” “Sometimes my parents say,” It seems that you are a little happier today. “
