## **Teach Your Children to Be AI Bilingual**
Just as children benefit from speaking two languages, future generations should become fluent in **both human thinking and AI-assisted thinking**.
Teach them:
* When to think for themselves.
* When to ask AI for help.
* When to verify AI's answers.
* When to ignore AI completely.
* How to improve AI by asking better questions.
* That AI is an advisor—not an authority.
