Are We Losing Our Kids to the Algorithm?

Our children are the first generation raised by algorithms. Likes shape self-worth, attention is monetised, and AI “friends” are always on. Some call it a crisis - others see it as a new kind of connection.

Is this tech empowering our children, or quietly reshaping childhood in ways we’ll regret?

Join education futurist Frances Valintine, Ana Ivanovic-Tongue, and a panel of experts for a bold, urgent debate on how social media and AI are influencing the next generation.
