People who are raising children today face a different set of challenges than previous generations did.Parents already had difficult decisions to make about their kids’ use of smartphones and social media. On top of that, the onslaught of generative-AI tools over the past few years has sparked fresh concerns about how children engage with technology, and now there are even more decisions to make.Author and pediatric surgeon Dana Suskind, MD, has written a guidebook of sorts, Human Raised: Nurturing Connection, Curiosity & Lifelong Learning in the Age of AI, for parents who are concerned that unfettered access to AI will turn their child’s brain to slop but that avoiding it will torpedo their chances at success.We spoke with Suskind, a parent herself, about how parents can help their kids navigate the use of AI technology.This interview has been condensed and edited for clarity.
