About this Event

NOT SUITABLE FOR KIDS UNDER THE AGE OF 14.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming part of childhood – shaping how children learn, create, seek reassurance, make sense of themselves and relate to others. But what should remain irreducibly human?

This accessible, thoughtful panel brings together perspectives from technology, child therapy, neurodiversity, parenting and education to explore both the possibilities and the risks of growing up alongside conversational technologies.

Speakers:

  • Cassie Oakeshott - Facilitator and CEO and Clinical Director of Unlocking Potential
  • Charu Kashyap, CEO & Co-Founder, The O Education Group
  • Dr Megan Yakeley - Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist
