In this episode of Foundations of Learning, I sit down with Professor Vasant Dhar—a global leader in machine learning, data science, and AI decision-making—to explore one of the most urgent questions of our time: How do we raise and educate children in the age of intelligent machines?

Professor Dhar breaks down the real opportunities and risks of AI in classrooms, what skills will matter most in the next decade, and how parents can help children build a healthy, empowering relationship with technology. From trust and critical thinking to creativity, risk-taking, and the future of human–machine collaboration, this conversation gives parents, educators, and leaders a roadmap for what learning will look like—and require—in an AI-driven world.

If you’ve been curious, cautious, or overwhelmed by AI in education, this episode will leave you informed, grounded, and hopeful about the next generation’s potential.
