I’m a father of three who studies the impact of artificial intelligence: this is what parents need to know about AI

TL;DR

A Dr Seuss-style story written in seconds alerted me to the power – and perils – of the technology. But how can children embrace it without forgetting core skills? When I was growing up, my dad and I often talked about a story we wanted to write together. It was called “The Day Nobody Went to Disneyland”.

Nauti's Take

The approach has real potential: explaining AI early instead of banning it meets children where they already use the tools. The limit is that nobody can cleanly measure which core skills actually erode under outsourcing, so parental advice rests on instinct.

For families the pragmatic route works best: allow AI for revision, keep it out of the first draft.
