How to parent safely in the AI World | Dr. Gbemisola Adetayo

AI is here and our children are growing up in a world where it is becoming part of everyday life. But are we prepared to guide them safely? In this insightful edition of The Discussion, Dr. Gbemisola Adetayo takes us into the world of Artificial Intelligence and parenting, helping parents understand not only how AI works, but also how to guide children to use it wisely, safely and responsibly. AI can be incredibly useful. It can help children learn, create, research and solve problems. But without proper guidance, it can also expose children to significant risks. In this session, we discuss: 🤖 Understanding AI: What it is, how it works, and what parents need to know. 🌱 The benefits of AI : How children can use AI as a tool for learning, creativity and productivity. ⚠️ The risks children face: Including privacy concerns, misinformation, bias, over-reliance on AI and emotional manipulation. 🧠 Protecting critical thinking: Why children must learn to think for themselves rather than simply accept everything AI tells them. ❤️ AI is a tool, not a replacement for humans:Dr. Adetayo emphasizes the importance of preserving human thinking, creativity, judgment and integrity. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦Practical parenting strategies: How parents can model healthy AI use, establish boundaries and have meaningful conversations with their children about technology. 🛡️The SAFE Framework : A practical framework introduced during the session to help families approach AI use responsibly. 📱 Age-appropriate exposure: Why children should not necessarily have unrestricted access to AI and how parents can establish appropriate boundaries. 📋 Family agreements: Practical ways families can agree on responsible and safe AI use. Above all, this session is a reminder that parenting in the digital age requires intentionality, vigilance and wisdom. We cannot simply keep our children away from technology. We must equip them to navigate it wisely. The session concludes with a prayer and an encouragement for parents to be intentional about guiding their children as they grow up in an increasingly AI-powered world.
