How to Raise Critical Thinkers in the Age of AI

Author and pediatric surgeon Dana Suskind joins us to discuss her new book, Human Raised: Nurturing Connection, Curiosity & Lifelong Learning in the Age of AI. We get into why true caring is what makes us unique from machines, how human parenting instills critical thinking and empathy, the role of governments and regulators in dealing with AI harms, her HOPE framework for raising kids in the age of AI, and more. 

For paid subscribers, we do a deeper dive into the importance of “good enough” parenting—and how it compares to the gentle parenting and intensive parenting approaches. We also discuss Christy’s response as an eating-disorders specialist to the comparison between AI and ultra-processed foods.
