The Strategy
Delivered in April 2026, this talk marks a pivotal shift in the digital parenting narrative. As AI becomes an invisible layer of our reality, the old “gatekeeping” methods are failing. The strategy here is to empower parents with a Guidance Framework—treating AI as a co-traveler in the household rather than an intruder. We explore how to maintain human-centric values while teaching children the “Operational Intelligence” needed to use LLMs safely, ethically, and creatively.
