Who Are You Before AI Tells You?

Identity for the AI age — respect first, no condescension, survives a gym's acoustics.

“You will make decisions about AI that no generation has made. Nobody older than you actually knows how this feels.” A story-driven assembly with a wallet-card takeaway — three questions every student can use on any app.

The three wallet questions
What is this teaching me to love?

Every feed optimises for engagement — name what it's forming.

Who am I becoming when I use it?

Authored self vs the scored, mirrored-back self.

What can I do that it can't?

The durable human edge — relational, embodied, present.

The charge

You are not the content the machines think you are. Decide who's telling you who you are.

Talk arc
  1. Open with respect. No shock theatre.
  2. Scored self vs authored self. Psalm 139 frame, told straight.
  3. One story. Pastorally handled — not spectacle.
  4. Wallet card out. Handed out before dismissal.

Wellbeing boundary line

  • Red zone — not covered here: crisis mental health counselling
  • No secrets to chatbots — always a real person
  • Not a replacement for school counsellor pathways
  • Clear signpost to help if a student is in crisis
