Dear parents/guardians,
I have a 14 year-old son. We talk about AI and consciousness frequently. It's a hugely important topic.
AI is everywhere, and seems to have come out of nowhere! But, in fact, it came from a very particular place–our own Natural Intelligence (NI), consciousness itself. NI is the source of AI, and the source of the genius that lives within each one of us. Teenagers need to know this more than anyone else as they navigate a world that is always talking about AI while seeming to forget the genius within them.
I would like to bring this conversation out into the open so we can stimulate and learn from the insightful thoughts of teenagers on this hugely relevant topic. Parents/guardians are welcome to join their teenagers for the sessions–with permission, of course!
Warmly,
Anoop Kumar, MD, MM

"The true emergency yet to be diagnosed is that we have forgotten who we are, what this world is, and what we are capable of. Everything else–including heart attacks, strokes, and trauma–happens downstream."
