01 Chapter 01 The Question That Sorts Everything Verdicts about AI invite an opinion about a technology. One distinction is more useful than any verdict.
02 Chapter 02 This Is Not a Future Problem Most teenagers already use chatbots, for schoolwork and for company. Whatever you decide, your child has likely already decided something.
03 Chapter 03 What Is Genuinely Good Here A Nigerian trial produced gains worth roughly 1.5 years of learning — with a teacher holding the shape of the lesson.
04 Chapter 04 The Cost, and Why It Lands Harder on Children Two studies shape the worry. Both have real limits — and a conceptual point survives them anyway.
05 Chapter 05 The Friend Who Never Pushes Back A relationship engineered never to disappoint you teaches nothing about disappointment. The line is rehearsal versus replacement.
06 Chapter 06 How Children Now Find Things Out Ten blue links showed that knowledge is contested and has provenance. A seamless paragraph shows nothing.
07 Chapter 07 What Nobody Knows Yet There is no longitudinal data, because not enough time has passed. Thin evidence should make you attentive, not confident.
08 Chapter 08 What to Actually Do Six habits, in order of how much they matter. The first one is worth more than the other five combined.
09 Chapter 09 The Short Version AI is a lever, and levers amplify whatever you point them at. The tool won't decide which one it is.
