Kelly Corrigan

His name is Andy Lots and he's like a brother to me.

He is my husband's best friend from business school.

He's been a CEO.

He founded a watch company called Nixon.

We've known each other for 25 years.

We've spent every Thanksgiving with him and his wife.

his whole family.

We've gone on family vacations.

And over the course of that, his wife became a very important friend of mine.

And then she died.

I was a part of Liz's memorial.

So her sister gave a talk, I gave a eulogy, and then Andy spoke.

And in the process of that, I started to see that he was learning things that other people needed to know.

In the years since she's died, Andy and I have had conversations, the likes of which I have never had with anyone.

And one of the things he said that always struck me

and I think it's relevant to this conversation about AI and parenting, is that he used to be a dad, but then he became a mom.

And he was finding out every day all the things that he didn't know as a dad and that he didn't know he didn't know.

And it made me think about who is behind all of this AI development and whether those people, that handful really of people, know what they need to know in order to be involved in these tender, consequential relationships between parents and children.

And to be completely transparent, I am afraid, and maybe for very good reasons, that most moms are invisible.

I don't think that we are taken seriously as a group of people that are contributing in a very meaningful way to society.
