About this episode

In this episode, Sarah Dooley shares five essential insights for parents regarding AI as National AI Literacy Day approaches.

It is National AI Literacy Day. And this morning, before host Sarah Dooley had even sat down with her coffee, her daughters were already practicing it at the breakfast table. In this solo episode, Sarah shares the five things she wants every parent and caregiver to know about AI in 2026. No guests. No interview Just a real, honest conversation about where families actually stand right now. Whether you feel behind, overwhelmed, or like AI keeps arriving before you had a chance to prepare, this episode is for you. The 5 things every parent should know about AI in 2026: AI is already in your home and it arrived without an invitation. AI can reduce your mental load when you use it with intention and care. You are your child's best AI literacy teacher, and it happens in the small moments. Verification and critical thinking are skills worth building early. The risks are real, and you do not have to be an expert to show up for your kids. Sarah also shares a National AI Literacy Day challenge: pick one thing that is draining you today, hand it to AI, and see what happens.
