For all of human history, childhood has been a time of preparation for an adulthood you could see, and understand, and picture yourself living.

You could look ahead and see the kind of adult you were likely to become. You could picture the work you'd do, the way life would look, the shape it would take. Things would always get more modern, but between your childhood and your adulthood they didn’t change all that much. Not really.

That has been true for every generation in human history. Until right now.

Because now, for the first time in our history, children are growing up without a future they can clearly see. 

This is the impact AI has had on the world. We’re at a very significant turning point - one that anyone working in software or technology can see clearly, but one that most parents don’t yet fully understand.

So, as someone with a platform like this that a lot of parents listen to - and as someone with access to the technology conversation that can sometimes feel a bit inaccessible - I believe I have a responsibility to lift our collective awareness of what the coming years are going to look like for our children.

If you know my work, you’ll know I’m the furthest thing from alarmist and click-chasing. But I promise you - we’re facing a huge change to the world, and our children are not prepared.

Please listen, and please share it with every parent you know.
