Over the past few weeks I’ve been writing about how AI is starting to shape the world our children will grow up in.

But one thing has really stayed with me - how many children told me they feel worried and anxious about their future because of AI.

That reaction matters.

Because the final part of this comes down to one simple idea:

In the age of AI, the real divide may come down to whether children become creators or consumers.

Children today are surrounded by powerful technology. They can generate images, write text and get instant answers in seconds.

But there’s a big difference between just using technology, or actually understanding it, questioning it, and building with it

When I speak to children in my clubs and workshops, what stands out isn’t just what they know - it’s how they think.

The ones who experiment, test ideas and try to figure things out, develop something really important - confidence that they can shape the world, not just react to it.

And that feels increasingly important - especially if some children are already feeling unsure about the future.

The future is uncertain - none of us really knows what jobs, tools or technologies will dominate in 10–15 years. But we can think carefully about how we prepare children for that uncertainty.

I’ve written a short article exploring this idea - and the three things I think matter most:

I’d genuinely be interested to hear what other parents think.

Do you think children should be learning how to use AI, how to question and understand it, or should they be staying well clear?

Almost 70% of the Year 6 pupils I recently worked with said they feel more scared than excited about AI.

Scared.

Worried about:
• No jobs
• Humans not being needed
• The future looking bleak

These are 10- and 11-year-olds.

Fear spreads faster than understanding. So the real question isn’t just what AI will become…. It’s how we help children feel informed, capable — and not powerless.

Part 2 of Raising Children in the Age of AI is now live.
