In this episode of Protect Our Kids, I do something a little different ...I use AI itself as a research tool and ask a big-picture question: How has the human race historically responded to new technology, and what does that mean for our kids right now?

What came back was surprisingly clear and honestly, a little unsettling.

Across history, when transformative technology enters society, we follow a familiar pattern: rapid adoption, cultural excitement, delayed safeguards, and vulnerable populations ... especially children ...being impacted first. Social media and AI are no exception, except for one critical difference: this technology is moving faster than anything we’ve ever seen before.

We talk about:

• Why our nervous systems struggle to keep up with rapid tech change

• How society tends to regulate only after harm appears

• What “unstewarded technology” really means for families

• Why waiting for culture and policy to catch up may not be an option this time

Most importantly, this episode is a call to stewardship — not fear. Technology itself isn’t the enemy, but leaving kids unprotected in the middle of massive innovation is not acceptable.

If you’re a parent, educator, or professional who feels both hopeful and uneasy about where we’re headed, this conversation is for you. And I truly want to hear your thoughts ...because protecting kids in the digital age is not something any of us should be figuring out alone.
