ReThinking · Why a chatbot can’t raise your kid with Dana Suskind · 21 Jul 2026 podcast

Like, isn't this better than screen time?

But this sounds sort of provocative, but it's sort of like saying, Oh, well, if you take some cigarettes, you'll eat less.

You know, it's like we don't need to replace one not positive child-centered thing with another.

The the truism with tech is there are always unintended consequences.

We need and that's what we need to be wary of.

But at the same time, I'm a big believer in innovation and I'm a cochlear implant surgeon.

So I believe in the promise of tech to allow human flourishing.

But your example of like how can

AI be sort of a co-pilot or a backup support.

I consider that a constructive potential use case of it.

And so actually, even in our lab at the University of Chicago, we've built a computer adaptive tool that measures what parents and teachers know about child development because the science is all ever evolving.

It's not about substituting them, you know, as parents, but really supporting.

them as parents.

And I think that's a really

important way to think about this technology.

How can it make us

better at the things that we want to be better on?

How how can it support us rather than replacing us?

I think that can be a positive use.

With that being said, you know, talking about unintended consequences, you want to make sure that it doesn't crowd out the village that we want families to have, the connections to other humans.
