Can Parents Really Protect Kids From the A.I. Robots?

On this episode: Lucy Lopez , Elizabeth Newcamp , and Zak Rosen are talking artificial intelligence in schools. It’s everywhere! And one parent is worried about an assignment requiring her son to use A.I. They bring on Jeff Young from the Learning Curve podcast to unpack what the listener’s teacher was trying to get at, some good uses for ChatGPT (versus the bad ones), how A.I. ruined the em dash, and more. But first, they share their latest triumphs and fails. There’s a handful of fails - from figuring out chores to sleep routines - but Zak brings it home with an Olympics focused triumph! Check out Lucy and Elizabeth’s new Substack, Best Mom Friends Forever ! Read Michelle Herman’s take on the listener question here . Podcast production by Cheyna Roth.
