Safeguarding the essence of family in an AI-Driven Future #LATechWeek
Hosted by

⚆◟⚆We're at an unprecedented crossroads in human history. 88% of parents believe AI will be crucial to their child's future success, yet nearly three-quarters of teens have used AI companions, and half use them regularly—often turning to chatbots for social interactions and problem-solving that previous generations would have sought from family members. A third of U.S. parents strongly agree they are concerned about the data privacy and security risks associated with their child using AI technology, while 52% fear Artificial Intelligence might replace real-world play and face-to-face learning. As AI becomes our children's tutors, companions, and confidants, how do we preserve the irreplaceable magic of authentic family relationships?
Trove Founder Daniel Feltsman, Harvard Researcher and Founder of Mindfulbytes Michael Davis, and father, philosopher and technologist Rafael Mojden - Director of Public Private Partnerships at the Puerto Rican Blockchain Association, will host an open panel discussion and Q&A discussing the most pressing challenges facing families today: the erosion of intergenerational wisdom transfer, the risk of AI dependency replacing human resilience, and the urgent need for family-centered AI governance.
We'll explore practical strategies for maintaining family agency in an AI-saturated world, from creating digital legacy systems that preserve family stories and values to establishing boundaries that protect childhood development and curiosity.
Let's address the fundamental question of how families can harness AI's benefits while safeguarding what makes us human: our capacity for deep emotional connection, moral reasoning, and the transmission of wisdom across generations. We'll discuss emerging solutions that help parents proactively share their authentic selves with their children, creating a protective buffer against the homogenization of AI-driven culture. This conversation is essential for any parent, educator, or technologist who believes that the future of AI should serve families, not replace them.
The stakes couldn't be higher—the decisions we make in the next 24 months about AI and family will shape how humanity defines itself for generations to come.
