I Use AI Every Day. Here’s Where I Hesitate With My Kids.

Welcome to the first episode of a brand new series on AI Mixtape: Raising Kids Around AI. As parents, we’ve spent plenty of time figuring out how we want to use artificial intelligence in our own lives, but what about our kids? In this video, Sarah (mom of four and tech regular) breaks down the uncomfortable realities, the real risks (like AI companions, deepfakes, and privacy), and why standard screen-time rules don't quite cover what AI does. But this isn't about panic or staying away from tech forever—it's about finding out how kids are actually using AI, why cognitive friction matters for development, and how we can raise kids to use powerful tools without losing themselves. 💬 Join the Conversation: Have you talked to your kids about how they're using AI?
