AI & Grandparenting: Embracing Tech for Joyful Connections

In Episode 7 of aiGED, Ginny Deerin gets practical about AI and grandparenting—showing, not telling, how tools like GPT can add delight and calm to real life. She turns a three-year-old’s scarecrow phase into a custom picture book (and car playlist), whips up printable birthday hats and a Batman cape, swaps car snacks for silly games, preps for a new baby with stain fixes, toy-cleaning tips, and a gentle dinner, and even workshops a teen’s summer business at the kitchen table. Plus: a quick take on OpenAI’s teen-safety update, a clear way to think about the doomsday headlines, a heartfelt recommendation—The Remarkable Life of Ibelin—and a tiny homework assignment that will delight the kids you love.SHOW NOTES:AI in the NewsHeadline #1: OpenAI/ChatGPT Annouce Parental ControlsHeadline #2: Could AI be a truly apocalyptic threat?
