And I have really been looking forward to this conversation. This is the key thing of our time, of our day and age. We're going to be talking about AI. We're going to be talking about protecting our children. We're going to be talking about the rapid pace of change. We're going to be talking about how to prepare our kids for it and the CEO of the Alliance for Secure AI. Wow! Brendan Steinhauser is here. Welcome, Brendan. Thank you, Jenny. It's an honor to be with you. Okay, I want to kick it off to let people know where they can go, secure AI now.org.

Then you also have a phenomenal substack where you have all these articles that are coming out. But if you go to secure ai now.org, it's going to link out to all the things that you need to know. So besides being the CEO of the Alliance for Secure AI, you're also a homeschooling family

who's trying to get outside.

That's right.

Yeah, we live in Austin, Texas.

We're a homeschooled family.

We have five kiddos ranging in age from nine down to two.

And so it's wild and crazy at our house and we love it.

And my wife and I, my wife, Brandon and I have owned a business together for many years. And now she runs the business and I'm doing this job, which I love doing. And we have a great life.

And you're getting kids outside in hot, Texas, and we're getting kids outside in Cole, Michigan. You can do it wherever, wherever you're at, you know, you just deal with the weather. But I want to talk about this path that you're on here. So you talked about the company that you have with your wife and then you become a CEO of

the Alliance for Secure AI and you are appearing everywhere, frequent media commenter, you're in

all the things, you know, newspapers, magazines, books, journals, TV. So can you talk about where that

interest in AI came from? Has this been like a longstanding thing or is it newer?

Yeah, you know, I think about it a couple of different ways.

Just on the personal level with our family, we're watching this trend happen in the last couple of years.

Of course, this movement inside public schools in particular, but inside of kind of traditional schools, you know, more and more ed tech, more and more screens.

And now AI is basically going to take all of that to the next level. It's highly addictive. AI is built to keep us engaged all the time to keep us on our phones and on our computers. And so we just reject a lot of that. We want our kids outside. We want our kids learning on their own. We want a little boredom. We want them to really be creative. And we're trying to

raise our kids a certain way. We're trying to do the home education and the way that you talk a lot

about and you've written about in your book, which is to kind of let them naturally learn and

provide an environment of love and care and learning that they can often do a lot of self-directed
