17-year-old whose school banned ChatGPT now runs AI startup
Original: Her school blocked ChatGPT. Now this 17-year-old high school senior runs an AI startup with 1,000 users
A 17-year-old high school senior has launched an AI startup that already has around 1,000 users, according to Fortune. The twist: her school blocked ChatGPT, prompting her to build with the technology rather than just use it. The story is drawing attention as an example of how Gen Z students are turning restrictions on AI tools into entrepreneurial opportunities instead of abandoning them.
Why now: It highlights the irony of schools banning AI while students build businesses on the same technology.
