Who will get ahead in the AI future?

It may not be who knows the most, and certainly not who can do math the fastest. As AI gets better at “computer-like” skills, Dana Suskind argues that the real differentiators will be deeply human ones: connection, critical thinking, and resilience.

This week on our podcast, Lavin Voices, we sat down with Lavin Exclusive Speaker Dr. Dana Suskind: pediatric surgeon, University of Chicago professor, and New York Times bestselling author of Parent Nation and Human Raised. In this clip, she explains why resilience will matter most for children as they grow, and why it isn’t something we can simply teach by pouring more knowledge into children’s brains.

Dana has spent her career studying how human interaction shapes developing brains. In her practical, science-backed keynotes, she helps parents, educators, policymakers, and leaders embrace the benefits of AI while protecting the relationships that help children and adults alike learn, adapt, and thrive.
