“Dr. Dana Suskind has written an insightful and exciting book that explores parents’ deepest concerns: How will AI impact my young child? Will it change their developing brains and influence their values? Dr. Suskind examines current and upcoming AI devices, including machine-based ‘companions’ that form bonds with children and next-generation AI robot ‘caregivers’ that may replace everyday parental activities. Told through the lens of an empathetic pediatrician, this book provides practical, easy-to-understand advice based on proven, cutting-edge brain science. This extraordinary book should be essential reading for parenting in the age of AI.”
