In this episode of Women Talkin’ 'Bout AI, host Kimberly Becker sits down with Dr. Mathilde Cerioli—a cognitive neuroscientist, mom, and Chief Scientist at Everyone.AI—to unpack the complex, often messy intersections of child development, technology, and artificial intelligence.

We cover:

• What AI can and can’t do for young minds
• How critical thinking actually develops—and why it can’t be outsourced
• The myth of "tech for tech’s sake" and why some edtech harms more than it helps
• Why your kid doesn’t need a bedtime podcast voiced by a deepfaked parent
• The neuroscience behind struggle, dopamine, and why learning should be hard
• Misinformation, deepfakes, and why everyone needs a family safe word

This conversation blends scientific rigor with real-world parenting chaos, offering both hope and hard truths. Whether you're raising a kindergartener or advising policymakers, this one’s for anyone who wants a future where tech serves human development, not the other way around.
