Women Talkin’ About AI - Brains, Bias, & Bedtime
In this episode of Women Talkin’ 'Bout AI, Brains, Bias, & Bedtime: Raising Kids in the Age of AI, I sit with host Kimberly Becker to unpack the complex, often messy intersections of child development, technology, and artificial intelligence.
We cover:
What AI can and can’t do for young minds
How critical thinking actually develops—and why it can’t be outsourced
The myth of "tech for tech’s sake" and why some edtech harms more than it helps
Why your kid doesn’t need a bedtime podcast voiced by a deepfaked parent
The neuroscience behind struggle, dopamine, and why learning should be hard
Misinformation, deepfakes, and why everyone needs a family safe word
This conversation blends scientific rigor with real-world parenting chaos, offering both hope and hard truths. Whether you're raising a kindergartener or advising policymakers, this one’s for anyone who wants a future where tech serves human development—not the other way around.
