Growing Brains Refuse to Hold Still
Why AI learns more from a child’s changing brain and behavior than from any single snapshot—and how parents can question bold decoding claims.

Every AI Microscope Has a Blind Spot
AI can reveal patterns in children’s brains and behavior, but every model reflects choices about data, labels, consent, and what counts as learning.

Who Owns a Child’s Digital Twin?
AI models can illuminate learning differences, but a child’s “digital twin” must remain a research tool—not a permanent label or verdict.

When AI Fails, Childhood Comes Into Focus
AI’s failures can reveal how children learn—if brain scans, behavioral data, and predictions are treated as microscopes rather than verdicts.

AI Can't Read the Room
AI tutors appear to understand children emotionally — but new research shows ToM in LLMs is encoded in just 0.001% of model weights. Here's why that matters for children who are building their models of social reality from statistical patterns.

Your Kid Is the Beta Test
AI tools are being deployed in classrooms without ever being tested on children specifically — during the most irreversible windows of brain development. The neuroscience of sensitive periods says we should be much more worried than we are.
