With artificial intelligence (AI) advancing at breakneck speed, experts are urging parents to stay informed about the technology that is increasingly shaping their children's future careers and educational environments.

Dr Elise Winton, author of the new book AI and the Future of Work, says, 'Parents need to be aware of the ways in which AI is influencing their children's lives, from the classroom to the job market.'

One area where AI is making a significant impact is in health tech. Researchers are using data from menstrual blood to uncover potential disease-fighting breakthroughs, marking a new frontier in medical research.

In Indonesia, satellite imagery is helping conservationists monitor the habitat of a critically endangered species of orangutan, aiding in the protection of biodiversity. This technology not only showcases the benefits of AI but also highlights its crucial role in environmental conservation.

Shiona McCallum, the programme's presenter, notes, 'Understanding how AI is changing the world requires a balanced approach. It’s not just about the technology itself, but how it integrates into our daily lives and what that means for the next generation.'
