How will AI change the way students learn, solve problems, and prepare for the future? In this episode, the hosts explore the relationship between AI and critical thinking and what this new frontier could mean for children, parents, and higher education. They discuss practical ways to use AI as a tool rather than a substitute for thinking, whether technology could make college more efficient and affordable, and why families need better data to evaluate the return on investment of a degree.

The conversation also raises an important question for parents: What experience are you actually trying to fund for your child? Along the way, the hosts consider college capacity, choosing a major, and what they themselves are learning as AI continues to reshape education.
