Featured speaker:
Dr. Dana Suskind
Pediatric surgeon, professor, and NY Times best-selling author of Human Raised: Nurturing Connection, Curiosity & Lifelong Learning in the Age of AI
Artificial Intelligence is entering playrooms and classrooms at a breakneck pace. How can parents, educators, and communities nurture human connection while leveraging the benefits of technology? Dr. Dana Suskind knows. A surgeon, professor, and New York Times bestselling author of Human Raised and Parent Nation, Dana has dedicated her career to enhancing the pivotal role that caregivers play in building healthy young brains that are wired to learn, adapt, and connect.
In urgent and actionable talks, she draws on her experience at the cutting edge of neuroscience to make the case for protecting both innovation and humanity rather than choosing between them. She equips audiences with four timeless principles to inform decisions about AI in childhood, and offers a concrete framework for fostering the unmistakable human capabilities that no algorithm can replicate.
“Raising a generation that can truly thrive alongside AI requires foundations that only humans can build. Dana makes that case brilliantly—and backs it with the science to prove it.”
