That's not the point.

What children need is a model of what it means to be a curious user of AI.

They need someone who will sit down with them, explore the machine, poke out its limits, challenge its responses, and most importantly, dare to rewrite its rules.

And I've been thinking about this a lot in the context of what's happening in children's toy boxes, but the bigger picture is that we should all be treating the everyday AI systems that we interact with the same way.

I 100 percent believe that we can help children build safer relationships with their smart toys, and we all need to build better relationships between ourselves and the technologies we interact with every day.

I believe in a world where no one is left in the dark by technology and where everyone has the inherent right to play a part in shaping the systems that shape our lives.

Thank you.

Yeah, no, I really love that question.

I think first because it gives so much grace to the fact that parenting is hard and there are a lot of challenges.

I think in the world of artificial intelligence, something I think a lot about is human wisdom.

And we've actually been kind of struggling with this problem for a long time.

There were books and then the radio and then TV and then the internet, and now it's artificial intelligence.

And I think the advice from then still rings true now, which is don't leave children on their own to figure it out.

Rules are great, but better is to help your child learn how to interact with them in a way that works with your family's values and the ways that you want to engage in the world.

So if you're willing to take that journey with your child, I think that could do a lot of good.
