About this listen

Mom Meets Machine (M3) is a podcast exploring how artificial intelligence is reshaping family life, child development, and the psychosocial experience of parenting. Hosted by two experts from complementary fields—an interdisciplinary data science professional and licensed clinical psychologist. The show bridges technical innovation with human experience. Each episode will help parents, educators, and caregivers understand AI’s role in shaping the next generation while offering practical, empathetic guidance. We will talk with experts about how families can approach the AI-future with critical and creative thinking rather than fear.

Grounded in evidence-based psychology, M³ takes listeners inside the emotional and developmental realities of our AI future. We’ll explore what happens when AI tools impact our homes, healthcare, and even playtime. We discuss trust in AI and how it may influence children’s identity, future, and family dynamics. We’ll also offer strategies to reduce decision fatigue, push back against “perfect parent” pressures, and build resilience. Our goal is to equip families not just to cope with AI, but to actively shape their relationship with it in healthy, empowering ways, combating fear and anxiety.
