Topics covered in this episode: AI chatbots and children, the UK national consultation on children's online safety, why parents need a seat at the table, and how 15 minutes of your time could help shape UK digital policy for children

In this first episode Florence introduces herself and explains why she started this podcast. While on a career break looking after her young children, she came across an episode of Your Undivided Attention about how AI chatbots are hacking children's attachment security. That episode changed everything.

As a parent, Florence felt the responsibility to learn everything she could about AI and its impact on children and to advocate for children's rights in this new digital era.

The AI Mum Podcast is the result of that journey. It is a show for parents and carers who want to take an active approach to raising what Florence calls the test generation — the first generation growing up with AI as a daily reality.

Each episode Florence will be joined by experts, researchers, psychologists, and child safety advocates to deconstruct what can be done to keep children safe and help them benefit from the AI chapter that is shaping all of our lives. The goal is practical, empowering guidance that reduces the overwhelm so many parents are feeling right now.

If this is a topic on your mind — you are in exactly the right place.

The first full episode is coming soon.
