feeling dazed by the doldrums of the
week, but let's just rise up. What's up,
guys?
Yeah, let's go. Now, we have Hey,
Sabrina, what's this?
Oh, can I rock this today? Let's go. It
is your word Wednesday. So listen up to
see if your word helped write today's
show. Got lots to get to, not a lot of
time to do it. So let's get to it. We
begin with two major developments in the
conflicts in the Middle East. First,
Israel carried out an attack against
Hamas leadership in Doha, the capital of
Qatar. The Israel Defense Forces say it
was targeting senior terror leaders who
have used the city as a headquarters
outside of Gaza for years. The strikes
occurred on Tuesday around 9:00 a.m.
Eastern time and appeared to target
residential buildings. Video from Doha
showed billowing smoke above some of the
buildings there. Qatar called it a quote
criminal assault and a blatant violation
of international law. A senior Hamas
official tells CNN that the group's
negotiators who have been in the city
for previous Gaza ceasefire talks were
targeted. This attack was significant
for a few reasons. First, it marks the
first time Israel has ever launched an
operation in Qatar, which has acted as
one of the main intermediaries in the
ongoing negotiations to reach a
ceasefire in Gaza. Officials say the
White House was informed of the strike
ahead of time, a move that could strain
relations with the longtime ally. Qatar
also hosts the largest US military base
in the region. Next up in Gaza, Israel
has ordered a complete evacuation of
Gaza City ahead of a planned military
takeover. Gaza City is the war torn
enclaves largest city and home to around
1 million Palestinians. Leaflets
carrying the evacuation message and a
map were dropped from the sky, warning
innocent residents to get out as Israel
attempts to attack the terrorist group
Hamas. Israeli military officials say
they will begin operating with quote
great force in the area as part of a bid
to defeat Hamas and occupy the city.
Those warnings follow a series of air
strikes targeting high-rise towers in
densely populated areas in recent days.
And Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu is warning this is just the
beginning. Listen,
all this is only an introduction, the
sifta, to the powerful main act, which
is a ground maneuver of our forces who
are now assembling and organizing into
Gaza city. And this is why I say to the
residents of Gaza, I take this
opportunity. Listen carefully. You have
been warned. Leave now.
As of this taping, only about 10% of the
city's population has evacuated. Now to
the UK where British artist Banksy has
struck again, this time with a new mural
outside of London's High Court. The
painting shows a judge holding his
gavvel over a protester. The elusive
artists has not commented on its
meaning, but the work appeared after the
arrest of nearly 900 demonstrators
supporting the group Palestine Action
over the weekend. In July, the UK
declared Palestine Action a terror group
after members broke into Britain's
largest Royal Air Force base and damaged
planes. Banksy, arguably the world's
most famous street artist, has never
revealed his identity, but you probably
recognize some of his most notable
pieces. The mural, was later seen
covered and protected by guards, and the
court says the artwork will be removed.
Pop quiz hot shot. Which artist famously
addressed their own mental health
diagnosis during an awards acceptance
speech? Beyonce, Harry Styles, Lady
Gaga, or Kendrick Lamar?
Put your paws up if you said Lady Gaga.
Psychiatrist and psychologists all
praised the singer songwriter for
revealing she had been diagnosed with
PTSD in 2016 and for encouraging others
to find support and resources.
Schools across the country are dealing
with an ongoing counselor shortage and
some districts are turning to a solution
that some say is key, others say it's
quicksotic. A new AI assisted support
system called Sunny uses artificial
intelligence to help real people connect
with students to chat about their mental
health needs. The company is already
available to thousands of students in
dozens of school districts across the
country. Some say it's great. Some, like
one critic, say that users of the app
are quote guinea pigs. Rzzac was got a
hands-on demo to see how it actually
works.
When my cousin passed away, I was like
going out every day just trying to
distract myself from my feelings, you
know, not really trying to accept
reality. It was like late one night and
I had remembered Sunny had sent me a
text like asking how my day was. And
from there, I texted Sunny.
Sunny isn't Michelle's friend. It's a
new AI assisted support system. It
allows students to text about their
problems with a real person who's aided
by AI.
So, at my school, resources were very
limited. So, Sunny being there was kind
of a blessing in disguise.
Sonar says 73% of the schools using
Sunny do not meet the student to
counselor ratio of 250 to1 recommended
by the American School Counselor
Association.
We had somewhat of a shortage for school
social workers and counselors. So Carrie
Smith helped make Sunny available to the
students in her Michigan district.
So Sunny is definitely filling a crucial
gap for us. It's very cost effective.
It's $5 per student. That's far less per
student than what we spend on on other
services.
When students text with Sunny, they're
texting with a sonar employee called a
well-being companion who uses an AI
co-pilot to help craft the texts.
The co-pilot is using a lot of different
data and information, clinical
approaches, etc. that all feed up into a
recommendation for them, making it a lot
easier for them to efficiently
understand how they should respond. No,
we're not replacing therapy, but
certainly we can support mild to
moderate challenges and escalate those
more severe ones. Sonar says that most
of its 10 well-being companions are in
their early to mid20s and working toward
a mental health degree. After hearing
about Sunny, I wanted to test it out.
I am feeling anxious about going to
college. I feel like you guys must get
that every once in a while.
We get that quite a bit. Absolutely.
Most well-being companions would go
ahead and take this suggested response.
It says it's understandable to feel
anxious about college. Would you like to
talk about what parts of college are
making you feel this way?
Thank you, senators.
Critics of artificial intelligence like
Professor Gary Marcus warned that these
AI systems can hallucinate or generate
false information, which makes them
unreliable for mental health services.
My biggest concern with these
technologies is that they're premature.
They're extremely well-intentioned. We
want to have more guidance counselors.
We want to have more teachers, more
tutors, etc. But the technology that
they're all built on right now called
large language models is flawed. If they
have humans in the loop, do they have
enough? The earlier they are in
development, the more important it is to
probably have a lot of employees. How
well are the monitors themselves,
trained, supervised this particular
product, there's no published data. That
means whoever is being used in it is
basically a guinea pig in an experiment.
You're trying to solve teen mental
health, which is an enormous problem in
this country with a incredibly
controversial technology of AI. Why do
this?
My mom struggled since her teens with
major depressive disorder. And you know,
for me, it's about ensuring that no one
else has to go through that type of
experience.
All right, press pause or remember this
for some critical thinking later on.
What do you think? Would you chat with
an AI assisted therapist in a time of
need? What are some of the potential
downsides or upsides to replacing human
counselors with bots? What other
questions might you have? Go ahead and
discuss.

Today's story getting a 10 out of 10. A
son going above and beyond to show dad
how much he loves him. For years,
diehard Yankees fan Michael Basono has
gone to Fenway Park with his Red Sox
loving dad, Antonio, to cheer their
teams in a fun-loving rivalry. But they
didn't go for the last couple of years
because dad's been recovering from a
heart attack and it's just been too
difficult to go. Michael knew he had to
do something. So he spent six months
secretly building a mini Fenway park in
the family's backyard and he knocked it
out of the park.
I felt really bad that um he wasn't able
to go to Fenway and and and have the fun
times that we had. So I wanted to do
something for him.
This thing is complete with a green
monster and authentic seats from the
stadium. Michael's dad was brought to
tears by his son's heartfelt tribute to
their relationship.
You don't take any money with you. You
don't take any of your luxuries with
you. What you take is your memories and
the people that that that you love when
when you leave. And one of the biggest
moments that I had was seeing my
father's reaction is worth more than
winning the Powerball to me.
Some things just connect us. For Michael
and his dad, it's baseball, but more
importantly, the time they get to spend
together.
Baseball is everything to us and and
he's everything to me. I hope we stay
together
for the rest of their life.
They say there's no crying in baseball,
but that'll get me teary eyed for sure.
All right, congrats to Mr. Hardaway and
our friends at Cashian High School in
Cashian, Oklahoma, our your word
Wednesday winners for submitting
quicksotic, an adjective meaning
exceedingly idealistic, unrealistic, and
impractical. Thank you for helping us
write the show and boosting our vocab.
Now, our first shout out to the day goes
to Watertown Mayor Middle School in
Watertown, Minnesota, sending a pop quiz
hot shot t-shirt. I will be rocking this
all the way home. And from our CNN 10
YouTube channel comment section, my
Knights and Mr. Ashworth at Cabo Midland
High School in Ona, West Virginia rise
up. Thank you for spending part of your
day with us, everyone. I'm Koi Wire and
we are CNN 10.
