After a long day of exploring, swimming or hanging with grandparents, games from Fortnite to Super Mario are a good way to wind down. Sometimes I play along, too

Yes, we need them to start young and really understand what AI is (and isn’t) and how it works. They need to be critical thinkers and not just mindless consumers. It’s a massive part of online safety and digital literacy now.
