If AI can do the homework, what happens to the student? In this episode, Sam Shapiro sits down with Eric Hudson, a strategic advisor who has helped hundreds of schools navigate the intersection of technology and humanity. Together, they explore how to raise kids who are "AI-literate" but—more importantly—human-centered.

We discuss:

  • The "Do Hard Things" Thesis: Why the struggle of learning is the ultimate hedge against an unhealthy, shortcut-obsessed world.

  • Literacy vs. Policy: Why building a child’s internal "BS detector" is more protective than any school ban.

  • Augmentation over Automation: How to use technology to extend human capability rather than replace it.
