Episode 18: Should 4-year olds learn AI? What the UAE’s bold move means for our kids

Abha Malpani Naismith & Sabine Karunanithy

In this episode of Who Do You Want to Be?, Sabine and Abha dive into a bold move by the UAE government: making AI education mandatory for children starting at age 4. 

What does this mean for the future of our kids, and for us as parents?

They explore the conversation around early AI literacy, the double standards we hold around screen time, and how we can raise informed, empowered digital citizens. 

With real talk and thoughtful debate, this conversation is one that will need to continue. 

 AI is here to stay. It's not about resisting it, it's about learning how to engage with it consciously, for the sake of our children and ourselves.

 Take 10 minutes today to ask: What does meaningful screen time look like for my child? And, am I AI literate enough to support them?
