#078: ChatGPT, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Parenting

Asking For A Friend with TalkDoc

Have you been wondering if Artificial Intelligence is going to replace your job? Or negatively impact your children? In this episode, we talk about parenting in a society using Artificial Intelligence. We draw on the incredible work of Dr. Sherry Turkle who helps us understand the importance of addressing the growing AI presence in our world.

Listen to TalkDoc, Meredith, and Teighlor as we discuss ways to increase the empathy in our children to fight loneliness and depression. Since Artificial Intelligence is only expanding we discuss strategies for working with Artificial Intelligence as a partner instead of seeing AI as an adversary or replacement. We offer tips to improve your parental communication and enhance relationships with the children around you.
