    Is AI going to kill all humans?

    Fiona and Holly discuss how AI would even go about killing us, what the various theories are behind the “killer AI” announcements and what we can actually do about it as parents. This is after a senior safety researcher working on Claude claimed that he thinks there's a greater than 10% chance that AI will kill all humans in the next decade which really didn’t help Holly’s fears about AI. Plus we talk about how Sam Altman’s claim that our kids “will never be smarter than AI” is actually quite insulting. We discuss the video posted by American Mum Kalie Robins after she found Meta AI suggesting to followers that they ask detailed questions about her young children. And Fiona shares a way to block nude images on your child’s phone.

    Do I need to worry about my son's AI companion?

    Do I need to worry about my son's AI companion? Fiona and Holly are joined by Professor Andrew McStay, director of Bangor University's Emotional AI Lab, to talk about AI companions and what's actually going on when a child forms a bond with one. Andrew shares research showing around 80% of UK teenagers have tried an AI companion, with about 30% using one more than once a week - and explains what that means for parents, what's worth watching for, and what isn't.

    Will the social media ban protect kids from AI?

    The UK government has proposed banning under-16s from holding social media accounts - but does it actually protect children from AI? Fiona and Holly are joined by child trauma psychotherapist Dr Catherine Knibbs, who isn't convinced the ban will work. They dig into what the ban is actually trying to fix, and whether removing access to named platforms touches the AI behind them - the recommendation algorithms widely described as addictive. Covers: the UK social media ban explained, AI and addictive algorithms, will the social media ban work, what parents can actually do regardless of how the law lands.

    Are AI toys a good idea for my toddler?

    AI-powered toys are heading for this year's Christmas tree and in toy shop aisles right now, but what are they actually doing when your toddler talks to them? Dr Emily Goodacre joins Fiona and Holly to dig into what AI toys, like Miko, mean for a young child's development, what data they might be collecting, and why a toy can't actually manage real social play the way a person can. Covers: AI toys and child development, data and privacy risks in smart toys, and why AI can't replace real social interaction for toddlers.

    What is AI doing to my kid's planet?

    This week Holly and Fiona get stuck into the topic of the environment, learning that measuring AI’s impact is not quite as simple as it may seem. They’re joined by Dr Kelly Widdicks from the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology to talk about how some research suggests that the data centres behind AI have the same carbon footprint as the whole of NYC. But it’s not all bad news as Kelly also explains that there are ways we can use AI for the good of the environment.

    Will my kids ever learn to drive?

    Fiona hates driving and loves the idea of a world where automated cars are the norm, whereas Holly is pretty worried about the thought of it. With driverless cars being tested on the streets of London there was no better time than now to ask Dr Nick Reed whether our kids will ever need to take a driving test. Dr Nick is an expert in the safe deployment of driverless cars in the UK and tells us what it’s like to take a ride in a Waymo.
