Clare Morell on A Humane Way of Life: The Research Behind Home Tech Decisions
About this episode
Clare Morell discusses the implications of AI in home technology and how parents can navigate these challenges for their children.
A rapid rollout of integrated AI into technology we use everyday brings with it new considerations for our tech policies at home. At this year's Heights Parents Conference on "AI and Our Sons: Optimism in Uncharted Waters," author and public policy researcher Clare Morell shared the latest news and research to inform our digital decisions at home. She points out that, increasingly, the vision we as parents have for our children is in direct competition with the vision big tech has for them.
