Raising Children in the Age of AI
As artificial intelligence becomes more present in everyday life, it is beginning to shape how children learn, think, and grow.
What does this mean for childhood, and how should it change the way we approach parenting and teaching?
Join us for a conversation with Nikunj Kothari, Celeste Kidd, Sonja Schmer-Galunder, and Ari Krakowski—experts in AI, psychology, and education—to explore how emerging technologies are influencing cognitive, social, and emotional development. The panel and audience Q&A will be moderated by Lauren Dash, Head of Brand at Imbue and a parent navigating these questions herself.
We’ll reflect on questions like:
How does AI change the way children learn and build understanding?
What happens to curiosity, attention, and creativity in a world of instant answers?
What responsibilities do we have in shaping how children grow up alongside these systems?
If you’re a parent, educator, caregiver, or someone thinking about raising children in the future, and find yourself grappling with these questions, this conversation is for you.
This is the fourth event in The Art of Being Human, a series by Imbue exploring human questions in a technological age.
