Women Talkin' 'Bout AI
We're Jessica and Kimberly – two non-computer scientists who stumbled into the world of generative AI right alongside everyone else when ChatGPT 3 was released. Since then, we've pivoted our careers to explore the capabilities and limitations of generative AI in teaching, learning, and research. But we're more than just academics –we're also mothers, friends, and colleagues, so of course our conversations sometimes wander into the broader landscape of life.
Women Talkin' 'Bout AI
Brains, Bias, and Bedtime: Raising Kids in the Age of AI
In this episode of Women Talkin’ 'Bout AI, host Kimberly Becker sits down with Dr. Mathilde Cerioli—a cognitive neuroscientist, mom, and Chief Scientist at Everyone.AI—to unpack the complex, often messy intersections of child development, technology, and artificial intelligence.
We cover:
- What AI can and can’t do for young minds
- How critical thinking actually develops—and why it can’t be outsourced
- The myth of "tech for tech’s sake" and why some edtech harms more than it helps
- Why your kid doesn’t need a bedtime podcast voiced by a deepfaked parent
- The neuroscience behind struggle, dopamine, and why learning should be hard
- Misinformation, deepfakes, and why everyone needs a family safe word
This conversation blends scientific rigor with real-world parenting chaos, offering both hope and hard truths. Whether you're raising a kindergartener or advising policymakers, this one’s for anyone who wants a future where tech serves human development, not the other way around.
