Raising Robots?

Will AI shape our children’s future, or will they shape AI’s destiny?

When my eldest was born, I set up accounts in her name, but as she grew, my approach changed. Concerned about the digital world's dark side, I kept my younger child away from tech, while allowing my older one a taste of it.


The tech tide is changing, with countries like Australia banning social media for kids under 16. Yet, we can’t shield them forever. How do we prepare them in an AI-dominated world?


The editors at Anyway magazine joined us, giving voice to the next generation’s thoughts on AI. Their responses were complex and surprisingly insightful.


I’ve loosened the digital leash, introducing my older daughter to smartphones and smartwatches. These tools are opening doors for her, but also testing boundaries. Meanwhile, I remain wary of social media's perils.


As we navigate this technological landscape, it’s clear: our children will play a crucial role in defining what AI becomes, not just how they adapt to it.
