AI & Me: Would your child listen to AI more than you?

A lost AirPod. A stressed 13-year-old alone in a cab. A family group chat in full meltdown mode. What started as a chaotic Sunday parenting moment turned into a surprisingly uncomfortable question: would AI have handled it better than we did? On AI & Me, Lynlee Foo explores why AI's response to a panicking child was calmer than anything the family chat produced, and what that means for parents of Gen Alpha kids. Are our children already finding AI easier to listen to than us, especially under stress? While the experiment isn't about AI replacing parents, it's about something subtler, and maybe more unsettling.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
