Can Technology Rewrite Childhood? The Ethics and Reality of Artificial Parenting
We explore how neurotechnology, AI coaching, and digital twins converge on the idea of editing a child’s memories and accelerating development. This episode examines scientific breakthroughs, legal implications, and philosophical questions about autonomy, identity, and experience when parents act like firmware installers for their kids. It also considers how these possibilities might reshape our concepts of childhood, consent, and the very fabric of reality. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
