Uh. AI is already programing. That's a huge applications of the technology that will make many jobs obsolete very soon.

Teach your kids how to think creatively and express themselves eloquently. AI cannot come up with unique ideas (yet, and when it does we are all doomed) or convey information in a particularly engaging way. Raise poets and philosophers, comedians and inventors.


AI will just copy them. Kids should learn how AI works on the backend.


We don't have AI. We're not even close. We have sophisticated programming.

We could do that right now even without robots yet we don't.
The problem is not lack of robots the problem is greed and selfishness. Robots will be used more for greed and selfishness than anything altruistic. Just read some history.

There is no true AI and there may not be for years and years to come, if ever. What OP is referring to is machine learning and sophisticated programming. There are people who are brilliant at creating that and, if your kid might be one of those people, then see if they want to lean into the field.

If not, then have them check out one of the other million of options available to humans.

My first inclination is that soft skills and EQ will be more important than ever. I also think doing things with our hands may make a Renaissance (cooking, art, gardening, carpentry) although that may not hold true once AI bodies (i.e. robots) catch up with AI language processing.

What are your thoughts? How do you plan to prepare your kids for the coming AI revolution? (Also lol Andrew Yang was right... but a few years premature to preach that message).


It doesn't matter, they're doomed, where all doomed.

Learn computer language as it rapidly changes. I’m behind the times.

I tell the. That they better know how to run the computers or the computers will run you over. I also give the. A strong foundation in the arts. Dance, drama, vocal music, creative writing, fine arts. The human heart to human heart connection if the arts will never perish.

I don't know, but whenever my kids complain about math I tell them, "Well when the robots are in charge, you are going to have to know how to do this by hand . . . "
