Artificial intelligence is moving faster than ever, and with every new headline comes a fresh wave of excitement, uncertainty and fear. So how do we embrace the benefits of technology without losing what makes us human?

This week, Lucy and Kel are joined by author, speaker and digital wellbeing advocate Noddy Sharma for a fascinating conversation about AI, digital dependency, faith, parenting and the future we're creating for the next generation. Together, they unpack the growing influence of artificial intelligence, discuss its opportunities and risks, and explore how we can remain intentional in a world increasingly shaped by technology. 

In this episode:

• Why AI is being compared to game-changing innovations like electricity, cars and the internet. 
• The growing concerns around AI, superintelligence and the speed at which the technology is evolving.
• How AI is already changing the way we think, solve problems and make decisions.
• The powerful observation: "We used to say, 'Let's ask God.' Now we say, 'Let's ask AI.'
• Why attention may be one of our most valuable resources in the digital age. 
• What parents need to know about technology, relationships and digital addiction. 
• The vision behind Focus48, a new initiative encouraging Australians to step away from devices and reconnect with people and community. 
• Practical ways families can create healthier technology habits together.
