Work, Parenting and Privacy in the Age of AI June 2025 2025-06-01 NBC News

Work, parenting and privacy meet in this NBC News Now conversation with Matt Britton, introduced as the author of “Generation AI: Why Generation Alpha in the Age of AI Will Change Everything”.
Matt discusses jobs exposed to automation and the role of creativity, critical thinking and emotional intelligence. He also considers how parents and educators can prepare Generation Alpha for those changes.
The interview connects the career conversation with everyday decisions about AI: what happens to personal data, how customized copilots such as healthbots might be used, and what assistance means for learning. It also addresses MIT research on AI and critical thinking referenced in the segment.
Matt’s discussion of “futureproofing” centers on a continuing ability to learn and adapt. The practical challenge spans both work and home: understand the tools well enough to make thoughtful choices about them.
