Curious how AI can actually help you teach your kids about money — without replacing your role as a parent? In this episode of The Great Canadian Piggybank, I chat with Nejeed Kassam, founder of Copi.Money, about using AI as an ally in financial education.
We explore:
How AI can level the playing field for kids who don’t get money lessons at home
Red flags to watch for in financial apps and AI tools
Why “financial instincts” still matter more than data
How parents can stay in the loop as coaches and co-learners
The line between using AI as a helper, not a crutch for money conversations at home
It’s a grounded, hopeful conversation about raising resilient, money-smart kids in a tech-driven world.
