Speaker (Matt Britton) argues that AI, like past technologies, is being demonized despite bringing benefits; he asserts AI adoption will increase in businesses ("Not one company in five years from now is going to be using AI less than they are today") and warns that removing AI from schools would disadvantage future leaders. He advocates integrating AI into educational curricula in a way that preserves students' ability to think, reason, and do work—calling this a balancing act for parents and educators.

Chapters

New technology has always been demonized. The Internet has created wars, but it's also created love and great prosperity, as has social media, as is every other technology AI is here. People are realizing that we are never going to be living in the same world again. Not one company in five years from now is going to be using AI less than they are today. So when I hear about schools taking AI out of schools, as somebody who spends 99% of their waking hours thinking about and building an AI, I do not believe shutting it off will do anything for tomorrow's future leaders besides disabling them. In an increasingly globalized society, we want to be able to, especially in the educational curriculum, bring in AI, but not to the extent that it takes away people's ability to think, reason do work. And that's going to be ultimate balancing act for parents and for educators moving forward.
