Description

Raising children in the age of AI might be the most important parenting challenge of our lifetime. In this in-depth conversation, Soulaiman Itani, a former Google AI developer explains how he’s using AI to raise his 4-year-old son, what excites him, and what truly scares him about the future.

We talk about AI-generated stories that help kids process emotions, the risk of misinformation, the future of white-collar jobs, and why “never trust — always verify” should be a rule for every child. We also dig into when kids should start using AI, how much access they should have, and whether governments need to regulate AI the way they (failed to) regulate social media.

You’ll learn:
- How AI can help kids with social and emotional skills
- The real dangers of AI for children and teens
- Which skills will still matter when AI can do most desk jobs
- What parents can do today to prepare kids for the future of work
