AI and early childhood

I was very honored to recently be invited by the Centre for Human Inspired AI at the University of Cambridge to join a panel discussion on AI and early childhood. It was a great discussusion, where we covered a large variety of issues, asking more questions than answers.

I’ll post the YouTube link as soon as it’s up, but in the meantime, I wrote a few quick reflections about AI and Early Childhood on LinkedIn. Please do have a read, and feel free to share/comment/challenge!

Generative AI is rapidly becoming ubiquitous in our lives but there has been little conversation about what this means for the very youngest members of society – our babies and children! How can the power of AI can be harnessed for positive social change that benefits all of our children? What are the potential risks and harms, and how can we avoid them? What is the right balance between regulation and innovation?
