AI Literacy for Parents
Empowering parents to confidently navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence
Our mission is to equip parents with essential AI literacy skills. We transform complex AI concepts, cutting-edge research, and evolving policies into accessible, practical knowledge that parents can immediately apply. Through our interactive workshops, thought-provoking podcast episodes, and supportive community network, we're building a movement of AI-literate families ready to thrive in a technology-driven world.
Family Conversations
Providing parents with clear language and frameworks to foster meaningful discussions about AI's potential benefits and risks at home.
School Engagement
Empowering parents with knowledge to effectively advocate for thoughtful, ethical AI integration in their children's educational environments.
Community Development
Cultivating supportive networks that collectively address the broader societal impacts of AI on children's learning, development, and well-being.
Future Readiness
Helping families understand AI's transformative role in workforce preparation, environmental sustainability, and creating a more equitable digital future.
Understanding AI Literacy
AI literacy empowers parents to explore, understand, evaluate, and thoughtfully engage with artificial intelligence technologies. It also empowers them to develop and share their views about AI with others, including their children and schools. The following research-supported components form the basis for our approach to AI literacy training:
Understanding AI Fundamentals
Recognizing the basics of how AI tools work across different domains.
Critical Evaluation
Assessing benefits, limitations, and potential risks of AI tools.
Understanding the impact of offloading tasks to AI tools on learning and development.
Informed Discussions
Engaging in meaningful conversations about AI with children and educators.
Advocating for intentional, reflective, safe, and accountable deployment of tools by educational institutions.
Ethical Awareness
Considering social, ethical, and environmental implications of AI adoption.
AI Literacy Workshops
We are taking a short break and will be back in a couple of weeks. Enjoy your summer!

Past Workshops
What Participants Say
"I've been participating in the AI Literacy Workshops as a way to understand better how it works and figuring out pros and cons. It was an eye opening experience that made me use AI tool for the first time. It's been helping me especially in research content for the project I'm working on. It's been also helping me in conversations about AI with my teenagers daughters. They are not actively using it and they are quite against of it but I know our knowledge is going to guide a responsible use of AI in the near future."
"Before attending this workshop, I only had a basic understanding of artificial intelligence (AI). However, through this experience, I was given the opportunity to deeply reflect on the impact AI could have on our society—and more importantly, on the future of our children. This workshop was far too valuable to keep to myself. It's something everyone should experience so we can come together and re-examine the times we are living in. Especially for those who care about the future of our children, this is a must-attend workshop."
"I attended these workshops as a completely new to AI, and the experience was incredibly enriching. Each session covered different aspects of AI with clear explanation and pratical examples that made complex ideas easier to understand. I especially appreciated learning how AI is used in real life and all the discussions about the ethical impact.It was a truly eye opening journey to me. Highly recommended!"
School Packages
In addition to regular workshops, we offer flexible school packages, including a 90-minute taster session and a comprehensive core exploration package consisting of four 90-minute workshops.
Taster Session
A 90-minute introductory session that provides an overview of AI literacy fundamentals, describes our educational approach, and previews the more comprehensive workshops. Throughout the session, participants engage with practical examples and interactive activities designed to spark curiosity and meaningful discussion.

Overview of core workshops and related tools
Core Workshops
These interactive workshops blend elements of exploration with thought-provoking discussions to develop participants' AI literacy skills. Participants are not required to access and use the tools.
AI for Reading, Writing, and Presenting
Explore text- and image-generating and processing tools to understand their profound impact on learning, communication, critical thinking, cognitive development, and academic participation.
AI for Voice and Video
Navigate the quickly evolving landscape of AI-generated voice and video content while examining critical implications for privacy, intellectual property, and future workforce skills.
Emotional AI
Investigate how AI systems detect and respond to human emotions, and explore the impact of AI companions on authentic human connections.
AGI
Engage in forward-thinking discussions about artificial general intelligence, developing frameworks to help children navigate an increasingly AI-integrated world with awareness and responsibility.

AI Literacy for Parents Podcast
Tune in to our podcast to explore the world of AI and its impact on our children, schools, and other parents. We have three main aims:
Make Academic Research and Policy Documents Accessible
by simplifying complex AI policy documents and research reports and translating them into practical knowledge for parents.
Engage Parents in Sharing Their Experiences
to encourage dialogue between parents and build a supportive community.
Invite Academics and Industry Experts
to provide credible insights on AI and its impact across a range of industries , as well as share their visions of the future of work.

AI Terms Made Simple
Check out the glossary of terms key to understanding the impact of AI on learning and development. This is a new feature and new terms will be added regularly.
AI Sycophancy
When language models echo, flatter, or agree with users—even if it means ignoring facts or contradicting themselves to gain approval.
Burstiness
Burstiness measures how much perplexity varies throughout a document, reflecting text flow. Human writing naturally varies between simple and complex sentences, creating rhythm. AI-generated content typically lacks this variation. AI text generators often produce lower burstiness scores, creating monotonous content with repetitive patterns.
Perplexity
Perplexity functions as "a surprise meter" or the opposite of predictability. Higher perplexity indicates text with unexpected words or sentence structures—typically human-authored content. Lower perplexity suggests more predictable text, likely AI-generated.
About
While AI literacy is often discussed in the context of preparing students or upskilling workers, parents are often overlooked in these conversations. Yet parents play a crucial role in guiding the next generation's relationship with technology. That's why we created this platform.
Our mission is to transform complex AI concepts and related policies as well as research into practical, actionable knowledge for parents. Whether you're curious about AI-powered tools, concerned about online safety, or excited about the possibilities AI brings to your children's future, we're here to help. Through hands-on workshops, regular podcast episodes, and a supportive community, we guide you in exploring the world of AI and making informed decisions about AI use in education, work, and daily life.
