Episode Synopsis

AI has been the topic on everyone’s mind this year. From the rise of generative AI and ChatGPT to the increase in self-driving cars, it’s easy to get swept up in the news stories of AI gone wrong, but every generation has had at least one technological leap that made parents pause and teens rejoice; AI is no different. In this episode, Charlitta’s tech genius shines as she walks us through practical AI uses, how to teach your child to use it responsibly, and why embracing it will serve you and your kids better in the long run.
Some key takeaways from this episode include:

It’s easy to jump to villainizing changes in technology, but think about some of the advances that were made while you were growing up. Chances are these advances brought value to your day–to-day but still faced pushback from older generations. There are always going to be pros and cons to advancements, but asking questions is key.

Artificial intelligence has already been a part of our lives for a long time. Things like sensors in elevator doors and faucets in bathrooms are a form of artificial intelligence that we don’t even think about on a regular basis.

Every parent is going to set different parameters around technology use. You likely already set limits around screen time, but you can also set guardrails around content, monitoring their search and watch history online, and not giving them a smart phone until a certain age.

Many companies and schools are creating policies around AI usage in their organizations. Rather than say “no using AI” in your home, explore where you might already be using it in your home and life, and discuss this with your kids. You and your child can explore AI usage together, and discuss the ethics and shortcomings of it as well.
