In her ground-breaking book Thirty Million Words, Dana Suskind explored the transformative power of parent talk in building children's brains. Now, with the advent of artificial intelligence, the importance of parent talk has become even clearer. While new AI applications demonstrate what technology can replicate, they also illuminate what it cannot: the capacity of parent talk to build not just skills, but our very capacity for human connection. Human Raised reveals the possibilities and perils of using AI and related technologies for child-rearing. From cry monitors, to smart cribs that soothe babies, to interactive chatbots designed to hold a conversation with an inquisitive toddler, the parenting landscape is shifting fast. Parents want to know: what is safe, and what is healthy for their children? Suskind helps new parents navigate this strange new world. As a world-leading researcher, pediatric physician, and mother of seven children, Suskind is uniquely positioned to guide us through this terrifying period of transition. This paradigm-shifting book will help parents make informed decisions about technology and their children.

Reviews for Human Raised: Nurturing Connection, Curiosity, & Lifelong Learning in the Age of AI

Praise for Human Raised: “Dana Suskind has done something remarkable: she takes our deepest fears about AI and children and transforms them into hope—and a clear path forward. A must-read for everyone raising a child in the age of AI.” –Eve Rodsky, New York Times bestselling author of Fair Play “How do we utilize the power of AI to raise our children, while safeguarding the nurturing interactions and care that make us human? In this captivating read, one of the foremost researchers on child development helps parents navigate these challenges and make sense of key discoveries of neuroscience that provide crucial insights for protecting childhood, human flourishing and the future of our species.” –Andreas Schleicher, Director for Education and Skills, OECD ""We shape our tools, and then our tools shape us. How will AI shape our children? This is the question Dana Suskind poses and answers— reminding us that the outcome is, ultimately, up to us. Only humans can raise humans, she argues, because only humans care. So what’s a parent to do? Hope is not lost. It’s right here. If there is a young person in your life, Human-Raised is for you."" –Angela Duckworth, New York Times bestselling author of Grit ""The compassionate, brilliant, and engaging Dr. Dana Suskind has written a book to guide parents in using AI to gain more bandwidth so that they don’t sacrifice precious time with their children. Parents will learn how AI can help them lower their cognitive load to be more present and responsive, and why the young child’s brain needs to be human-raised. The bottom line is that AI should assist the caregivers, not give the care."" –Claudia Goldin, author of Career and Family: Women’s Century-Long Journey toward Equity and Nobel Laureate in Economic Sciences
