"Parenting requires humility and a willingness to learn.” That was one of the key takeaways of my conversation with Anmol Mohan, an ML expert and director at a big tech company based out of Singapore. Between “We are not equipped to be parents, really” and “Ethics don't exist; it's all about wisdom”, there is so much we unpack in episode 2 of the Parenting Reboot.
For instance, we explore the intersection of parenting and technology, talk about how parents can navigate the challenges posed by digital tools while fostering a healthy relationship with technology for their children. Anmol shares his insights on gamification strategies for managing screen time, the role of AI in parenting and education, and the importance of resilience and adaptability in preparing children for an uncertain future.
The discussion also touches on the ethics of AI and the need for a redefined approach to parenting in the modern era.
