AI & Our Kids’ Future: PART 4

AI Might Be the Future, But We’re Still Raising the Humans

AI is changing everything, but the real question is:

Are we raising kids who can lead it... or just keep up with it?

We’ve talked about the jobs AI is quietly taking (Part 1).
We’ve seen what happens when creativity becomes command prompts instead of hands-on making (Part 2).
We’ve wrestled with how to guide our kids through a shifting educational landscape (Part 3).

Now, the real work begins.

🧠 Raising Ethical Humans in a Tech-Driven World

AI might shape the future, but we are still raising the humans who will lead it.

Ethical AI development isn’t just a tech problem.
It’s a parenting challenge.

It means raising girls and boys to lead in AI spaces.
To demand inclusion.
To challenge assumptions baked into algorithms and culture alike.

It means fostering lifelong learning, emotional resilience, and community values.

🎥 When Dreams Meet Digital Disruption

My son once told me he wants to be a YouTuber when he grows up, a dream that feels so real and exciting to him.

But even that world is shifting fast.
AI-generated influencers with hundreds of thousands of followers are already a thing.

So how do our kids stand a chance?

That’s why teaching them to be ethical, adaptable, and brave leaders matters more than ever.

💡 Leading Loudly, Not Just Learning Quietly

So yes, they’ll learn how to use AI.
But more importantly?
They’ll learn how to lead it - ethically, and loudly.

Because the future isn’t just about smarter machines.
It’s about smarter humans - kinder, wiser, braver - shaping a world where technology serves us all.

If you’re loving the visuals in this series, yep, they were whipped up with a little help from AI.
Of course I used Artistly.ai, because why not let the robots do the heavy lifting while we sip our coffee and plot world domination?
