Is Wall Street Lying to Parents AboutAI?

You’ve probably seen it all over the news and social media.

“AI is overhyped.”

“It’s a bubble.”

“Investors are pulling back.”

Let’s be clear: that’s not just misleading — it’s dangerous thinking for parents.

Because while Wall Street pundits argue over short-term AI stock volatility, companies like Google are quietly preparing for an explosion in demand.

In fact, the only thing keeping AI from truly exploding on the scene even faster is infrastructure. 

The giant tech companies need more computing power and electricity.

And regardless of your feelings about that, you know darn well they’re going to make it happen.

Simply put:

The AI world our kids will live in is already being built — fast.

That means if your child doesn’t understand AI, they won’t just be behind in school or late to a new tech trend.

They’ll be lost in an economy that assumes AI fluency the way today’s job market assumes basic reading and writing.

So no, we don’t care what a hedge fund analyst says on CNBC.

We care what this means for your child.

And it means one thing: your child needs AI skills.

Now.

But what does that actually look like?

Here are the top 3 AI-critical skills your child should be developing today:

1. Prompt Crafting (a.k.a. AI Communication)

Talking to AI is a skill.

The better your child gets at crafting questions, refining outputs, and navigating what AI gives back, the more power they’ll have.

This is no longer “nice to have” — it’s a fundamental literacy.

In 2025, the edge goes to kids who know how to prompt better.

2. AI-Enhanced Creativity

AI can generate ideas, images, songs, and even stories — but only with the right guidance.

Children who can use AI to amplify their originality, instead of replacing it, will become the creators of the next generation.

This means teaching your child not to ask, “What can AI make for me?” but instead, “How can I use AI to make something better?”

3. Critical Evaluation of AI Output

Your child will grow up in a world where AI-generated content is everywhere — in their homework, social media, even their friendships.

Knowing how to tell good output from bad, real from fake, and helpful from harmful is the new digital street smarts.

Can they spot a manipulated image? Question an AI-generated “fact”?

Cross-check sources?

If they can’t, they’ll believe everything. And that’s a risk no parent should be okay with.

The Bottom Line

Yes, there will be hiccups.

AI stocks will rise and fall.

Startups will fail.

Regulatory delays will happen.

But AI itself?

It’s not going anywhere.

It’s growing exponentially, and your child’s future is deeply tied to how well they learn to use it.

We’re not telling you to panic.

We’re telling you to prepare.

And if you’re not sure how?

That’s exactly why we’re here.
