Episode Title: What Is AI, Really? 
Episode Summary
In this special Caregiver Edition of the explAInED podcast, Renee Langevin, Michael Berry, and Shaun Langevin sit down to talk directly with parents and caregivers about one of the biggest questions in education right now: What is AI, really?
With humor, honesty, and plenty of real-world examples, the team explores what AI is (and isn’t), how it shows up in everyday life, and what families should know about its risks and possibilities. From toothbrush thought experiments to concerns about privacy, bias, and mental health, this episode focuses on awareness. The message: kids need strong human superpowers like empathy, adaptability, creativity, and critical thinking to thrive in an AI world, and parents can play a vital role by learning alongside them.
Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or just overwhelmed by all the AI talk, this conversation offers a parent-friendly, no-jargon guide to starting thoughtful conversations at home.
