Stop Teaching Kids About AI. Do This Instead | The AI Literacy Series (Ep. 1)

Would you stop your child from learning how to write and read? AI literacy is the same now. To succeed in life, you have to be fluent in it.

Generative and other types of AI is no longer something you “learn to use.” It’s the environment we all live in. It’s shaping homework, search, gameplay, even family kitchen conversations. And while adoption has crossed a threshold, our understanding of AI literacy is still catching up.

In this first episode of the AI Literacy Series, I sit down with *Stefania Druga* – researcher, educator, creator of Cognimates, and my co-author on this project – to explore a central question: *what does it mean to raise an AI-literate generation – and actually be cool about it?*

*We’ll explore:*

- Why AI literacy is the new baseline, not an add-on.

- How to help kids move from “using AI” to questioning and shaping it.

- Practical frameworks like Graidients, making AI use visible, intentional, and ethical.

- Seven simple activities you can try at home to build fluency together.

This series isn’t about watering down AI for children. It’s about reimagining how we – as builders, parents, and educators – prepare the next generation to live, think, and create inside an always-on model ecosystem. Doesn't matter if you are an AI expert or a total novice – everyone will find something insightful.
