Human Raised: Nurturing Connection, Curiosity & Lifelong Learning in the Age of AI

By Dana Suskind

Categories: Health, Fitness & Dieting, Parenting & Relationships

Dana Suskind, a professor of surgery and pediatrics at the University of Chicago, examines the possibilities and risks of artificial intelligence in child-rearing, from monitors that decode cries and smart cribs to chatbots built to engage toddlers. She offers parents four guiding principles: human connection is irreplaceable, own imperfections, protect the early years, and enhance rather than replace connection. The book also gives a framework for judging technologies and guidance on building critical thinking, empathy, creativity and resilience, which Suskind calls the Human Edge.
