The biggest threat of AI: young people losing their ability to think.

Many students rely on ChatGPT to write essays or solve problems, which leads to reduced brain activity, weaker attention, and less creativity. Their work looks good but lacks depth and soul.

Should we use AI? Yes, but with three key skills:

Critical thinking—don’t blindly trust AI.

Creativity—AI reuses old ideas, kids should create new ones.

Self-learning—try first, then use AI to improve.

Parents can help by encouraging kids to think before asking AI, ask good questions, and combine AI with real-world experiences.

Like calculators and cars before, tools should develop skills, not replace them.

In the AI era, the best kids will be those who master technology and think independently—not just button-pushers, but creators.

It’s not who uses AI faster, but who thinks smarter.
