What is your message to parents about how to raise the next generation of disruptive thinkers?
Former CEO at HCL Technologies
I am speaking directly to parents when I say this. Your children are getting obsolete because of AI. Any knowledge you transfer to them through the current education system, AI will do better. That is true and it is correct to be concerned. But the answer is not to outsource this to schools, which will take decades to change. The answer is curiosity and experimentation, and that has to start at the dining table. Stop prescribing. Stop warning. Stop protecting. Start asking questions. Ask your child why. Ask what if. Ask them to research something and bring it back to you. If you can keep your mouth shut a little longer and let curiosity take over the conversation, you will produce a seeker. That journey from followers to seekers, experimenters, researchers, and disruptors starts at home. Nobody else is going to do it.
