Navigating the AI Revolution: Empowering Parents and Teens

In this eye-opening episode of "Parenting Teens: Advice Redefined for Today's World," we dive into the rapidly evolving world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its impact on our homes, schools, and relationships with our teens. Join me, Cheryl, as I sit down with Jose Valeriano, an AI automation specialist and founder of Smart AI Courses, to explore the dual nature of AI—its powers for good and evil—and how it is reshaping our children's futures.

Discover practical insights on how AI is being used in schools, the potential risks and benefits, and how parents can harness AI to support their neurodivergent teens. We also discuss the future of AI in the workplace and how to prepare our kids for careers that will thrive alongside AI advancements.

Whether you're concerned about AI's influence or eager to leverage its potential, this episode is packed with valuable advice and actionable tips to help you navigate this new frontier in parenting.

Cheryl
00:01 - 00:38
Hey parents, are you completely freaked out with AI and how it's affecting your house and your teens and your relationships? This is the episode for you. I talk with Jose about AI and the powers for evil and the powers for good. It is here, it's not going away, and so this is the episode you need to hear. What to watch for, what to be concerned for, and how to celebrate it, and how to use AI in a way that connects you with your team, as opposed to creating the great divide because you want to bury your head in the sand.

Cheryl
00:38 - 01:25
This is something you need to hear. Thank you again to Jose, and here we go. Welcome to another episode of Parenting Teens, advice redefined for today's world. And parents, today we are diving into a topic that is shaping our kids' futures faster than we can keep up. Artificial Intelligence, better known as AI. My guest today is Jose Valeriano, an AI automation specialist and the founder of Smart AI Courses. With over 20 years of experience in technology and business, Jose has made it his mission to demystify AI and help professionals, and today, parents, harness its power.

Cheryl
01:26 - 01:41
Today, he's here to help us navigate how AI is influencing our teens' education, social life, and even the way they think. Get ready for a conversation that might just change the way you see the future of parenting. Welcome, Jose. Hi,

Jose
01:43 - 01:45
Cheryl. How are you?

Cheryl
01:46 - 02:06
I'm good, I'm so excited for you to be here. This is a whole different ball game that we're talking about for parenting teens. And I really think it's something that is in our face and really prevalent in our education system and in our home system and parenting system. So I think this is a really important conversation. Oh,

Jose
02:08 - 02:37
yes, you're right. Yes, you're right, definitely, because it's something new for me. And I'm so grateful to be here at your podcast. And I think I can help your parents and help everybody that see this kind of content. Maybe I can help something and put something with the things that I know that it's AI in my professional path.

Cheryl
02:37 - 02:47
Yeah. So, Jose, let's start with, what's your story? Like, why are you doing this? And, you know, tell us a little bit more about your mission with AI. Oh,

Jose
02:48 - 03:49
yeah, of course. Well, I'm Jose Valeriano. I'm from Bolivia. I'm a professional. I, I've been studying systems engineer. It's like 20 something years ago. Um, I always liked the tech and I was diving into some fields like telecommunications, like administration. And I've been, um, working on, on all kinds of fields and, I think since three years ago, AI, it was turning like hot, you know, then that's why I tried to learn about it. because every time that I was seeing news and everything, it was like a slap, you know, because it's like changing all the game.

Jose
03:49 - 04:46
It's changing all the lives, it's changing works, it's changing everything. And it was like, I have to learn that. I have to learn how to, be prepared for that, that disruption that it's creating in our lives. And that's why I started to dive into this, this world that it's really interesting. Now it's, it's being very commercial, but I think two or three years ago, or if we go back like 20 years ago, when I was in the university, it was, it was like a, Something that we learned, but it was not that today. It was like, okay, AI, it's a pair of hands or some things that you have to learn just to know.

Jose
04:46 - 05:33
But it was not like today. It was not like the idea that it was going to change our game, our way to leap. So that's why I've been developing myself until, like I told you when we were talking, until yesterday I was preparing, I was taking courses in automation. And that's why I want to be on the market yet, and try to help and that's why I accepted to be with you. I'm really honored to be in your podcast because I think I can give you like a clue of something that I know that I'm seeing every day.

Cheryl
05:34 - 06:25
Oh, I know you can. I know you can from our previous conversations. So, you know, I want to say about AI is And like, I feel like all technology that comes at us is, it gets put out there into the world. And then, without all the limitations, without all the restrictions, without all the safety features, and then like anything now we have to back paddle now it's like oh oh it does this okay well it can't do this or we have to be careful of this or we have to watch this like social media like like anything that gets presented to us you know as a as a community or as a global population it's it becomes something that you know, we really have to stop.

Cheryl
06:26 - 06:43
And it's here. It's not going anywhere. And so how can we use this to our benefit? And how can we be very aware of the concerns that AI presents? Oh, yeah,

Jose
06:43 - 07:40
it's It's, well, it's, it's kind of complex, because it's touching every field that we look at. So in this case, there are given in some cases, many problems that we have to solve. And it's the way that we are looking to AI. Because, for example, I figure out a problem if you are an entrepreneur and you have your own business. And I think time is the most valuable thing in your work. And the thing is that you have to balance between your family or your work. So in this case, for example, there are many solutions with AI that I think we didn't figure out.

Jose
07:41 - 08:42
or we didn't imagine that AI can help us. For example, there are some applications like, for example, RescueTime or Blockify. These two apps, for example, they are AI-powered, and these help us to prioritize tasks or automate delegations and provide us productivity insights. The way that we can use these tools is that they can analyze, if we give them the parameters to analyze, they can analyze our time, our daily time. So they are going to tell us how we can improve, how we can delegate some things to do that we usually do manually, like, I don't know, maybe You spend some time looking at your emails.

Jose
08:44 - 09:17
I saw that you can receive a hundred of them in one day. So they are classifying our emails or something that kind of small things help you to improve your day. So when you are an entrepreneur, you didn't figure out because the time goes so fast learning maybe making some projects or make maybe doing some things that are good for you for your pocket

Cheryl
09:17 - 09:18
but sometimes

Jose
09:18 - 09:42
they are not good for your kids and and that's that's you uh you can improve in your in your daily tasks So that's kind of how AI is helping us. Sometimes we see AI like something that it's wrong, something that it's going to replace us.

Speaker 2
09:43 - 09:43
So

Jose
09:43 - 10:07
we can learn how to AI can help us in our daily life. So that's how I see now because I think in like some months or years ago, I was on the other side. I was seeing like now AI is going to be a problem. It's going to replace my rules, my everything.

Cheryl
10:08 - 10:08
So

Jose
10:08 - 10:11
that's how I can see now.

Cheryl
10:11 - 10:33
Yeah. So let's talk about, you know, parents here, And on this podcast, the listeners are all parents of teens. So let's talk about school first. I really want to get into how AI is being used in schools. And should parents be concerned? What is the good and the bad about AI being used in schools?

Jose
10:35 - 11:33
Oh, great. That's a great point. Okay. In the schools, I think the kids, especially, I don't know, the ones that are using AI. Sometimes they are using them in the wrong way. Because I saw many TikToks, many Facebook videos and everything that our kids are using AI to do some cheating, to pass some tests, but it's not helping. I, I, I used to use to solve my problems. I just take a picture on or just, just record the video and it helps you. It gives you sometimes the, the, the right or the wrong answer. You don't, you don't really know because you only take a picture and you just copy and paste it.

Jose
11:35 - 12:00
But in this case, for example giving you some technical fields of AI. AI if you take a picture and you say give me the answer it's going to give you the answer but you don't know truly you don't know if it's right or wrong because AI has some something that you call hallucination that

Speaker 2
12:00 - 12:00
it's

Jose
12:00 - 12:35
the margin of error that the AI has. So it's not perfect because it's AI, it's learning from us and sometimes it could give you the wrong answer. And imagine that you are in a test that it's going to give you or fail or pass and you just trust on AI as there's a grateful app with great research and great great likes, and you just trust it and you fail.

Cheryl
12:36 - 12:36
So

Jose
12:36 - 13:46
it's AI failing, it's not you. So that's the way that right now sometimes the teenagers are using AI. And we have to be really careful with that because we have to teach our kids to use it right. to help in this. For example, in the applications that I gave you, these applications can help you and there are other apps that can help you. For example, I was using some applications just to teach my kiddo and she has nine years old right now. I was using AI to help me building some math questions and it was really great because you can interact with AI saying that in which parameter you want to advanced level, intermediate level, or just a beginner level so the kid can start using, start learning.

Jose
13:47 - 14:56
And also in reading, it gives me a some kind of feedback that it's really interesting because it's saying, like, if the reading is going to help to improve their grammar, their writing, their listening. So there are many, many tools that you can use And one extra thing, I was trying to teach her how to improve their cognitivity. And I tried to find an app with Empower with AI. And there was one that it said to me that the kid can write a story about that topic. and my kid wrote a story and it gave me some insights, really interesting, because it was saying that you have, for example, how to create this kind of paragraph to improve their objectives and everything.

Jose
14:56 - 15:01
So it helped us to think further. So that's good.

Cheryl
15:02 - 15:22
So I'm wondering, is there a way for parents or teachers to know if a student has handed in an assignment, a test, whatever, is there a way to detect that this is totally AI generated?

Jose
15:23 - 15:35
Oh yeah, of course. Of course, there are many tools that you can just, as you cheat, you can take a picture of this, of the, I don't know, of the sheet,

Cheryl
15:35 - 15:35
of

Jose
15:35 - 16:06
the answers, and they detect the percent that AI was taking. So you can just paste or upload the document and it's going to analyze the document. And there's a way that AI gives you some answers. Because there's a format, there's a format that you upload or that we upload some information because

Cheryl
16:06 - 16:07
you

Jose
16:07 - 17:05
know that why there are so many free apps. because these companies want us to give them information. They need information for AI. So that's why they are free. So we just download and we give them all of our information just to fill their database. So that's the way that AI works. It's not that these people are just, oh, they are really, really, I don't know, good people that they are just giving the answer to our lives. It's not like that. It's just because they need information. That's why they give you a free project. Right. And that's

Cheryl
17:05 - 17:11
so powerful. I did not even think of that. Oh, my God. Interesting.

Jose
17:11 - 17:32
Yeah. And that's the way that they make money with our free information. So in what if you want to go further, you you have to pay them with your effort. You give them the information. So that's that's why it that's why apps, free apps work.

Cheryl
17:33 - 17:59
Okay. So is there a way then, oh, there's so many things around that. Is there a way for a parent to detect the fact that the kid's on AI? Like, is there a history? Is there something that they can look at in the computer to say, okay, this whole thing is not your English essay. This is AI's essay. Is there a way to detect that?

Jose
18:02 - 18:59
Yes, you can go through your, I think you can go, there are many ways, you can go to Google and see the history. Right. Then let me think, I think I think, I think there are two ways. If you, if you want to go and look at the history of your, your, your Google or the thing that you are going through or looking to. Yeah. And only maybe you can go through the history of your, your, your, your web browser. Yeah. And you can upload a, Or maybe I didn't try it, but maybe you can install an app in power with AI that is going to help you to.

Jose
19:01 - 19:27
to search because I think they are thinking of doing that because every time you open your web browser, it's going to activate some trigger and it's going to start recording or it's going to just analyze the information that you're sending and receiving. Maybe, I don't really know. Now I don't really know, but it's a good thing. I'm going to figure it out. I'm going

Cheryl
19:27 - 20:19
to do some research. So here's a different twist because, you know, I hear a lot of teachers when I was in the high school talking about the cheating and parents concerned about the cheating. However, here's the twist on my end because I work so closely with parents who have neurodivergent teenagers. So they obviously learn very differently. And I would love to know, I mean, we know the powers of evil for AI, but the powers of good, when it comes to kids who are neurodivergent, who learn very differently, I feel like there's, like AI could make things very accessible to a kid who doesn't learn in a linear, atypical way.

Cheryl
20:19 - 20:20
Do you agree? Yeah.

Jose
20:23 - 21:16
yeah definitely it's going to help us because i see uh there i i was in us i see there i see in south america that sometimes the the basical structure of learning it's the same less like 30 years ago, if you go to a university, if you go to a school, it's the same scenario, it's the same. So you have, in Brown, you have the teacher, and in Dubai, you have the students, and it's the same. And that's the really interesting thing that I have been working on because as you said, I am the founder of SmartDAI courses and that's the thing, that's the way I believe.

Jose
21:17 - 22:07
that AI can give you a personalized teaching depends on the field that you want to learn and it's going to break some rules that obviously the sometimes teachers don't like it because they think they are going to take over their works, but they can improve their way to learn because you are touching some fields that the kid likes to do. It's not that you have the fields that they have to learn. you can make ways that they like to learn, and they are going to learn obviously better than in the other scenario.

Cheryl
22:08 - 22:49
Yeah, yeah, and I think like in any subject, and I'm thinking for math, I mean, yes, the kid can punch in the question, and it can spit out the answer, But now the kid is looking at this answer and part of the learning would be looking how AI got to that answer. And that's all learning. I mean, you know what I mean? Like I feel like that part of it where they are able to see the steps in a way that they are able to learn it by looking at the steps and then being able to, now you can regurgitate that.

Cheryl
22:49 - 23:25
Now I want you to do a different problem, but here's all the steps for you. You know, kids have significant deficits in working memory. I'm going to say that. you know, their executive functions and working memory. So, you know, they get these math problems that come with 12 steps and they have to show all their work. Well, if you have working memory, it's not that you don't wanna do it. It's not that you don't wanna just give the final answer. It's because you cannot remember all those steps. So you punch in the problem where AI and the kid's like, okay, here's the steps.

Cheryl
23:26 - 23:35
give me a different, you know, give me a different question with the same format. And here's my answer how to figure it out. And I'm like, that just makes it so accessible for kids.

Jose
23:36 - 24:21
Yes, yes, of course. And now that you say that we have problems in attention and we remember things, it's because of cellular phones. It's because of technology. So it's because, for example, the algorithm that TikTok uses it's uh why you think they they are like small reels because our attention it has been um it's only you only have like as content creator says you are you always only have like 10 or 6 seconds to get their attention or you lose it.

Cheryl
24:22 - 24:22
You're going to

Jose
24:22 - 24:46
lose it. So it's because that kind of tech that we use every day, every time since we woke up, we are on the phone, on our lunch, we are on the phone, on I don't know. I think some persons use the phone just to sleep, to fall asleep and that's it, right?

Speaker 3
24:47 - 24:47
So

Jose
24:47 - 25:21
that's, and AI can help. There are AI tools that can help you to like personalize the content and be more, I don't know, maybe more, be a better teacher It's not that it is replacing right now teachers, but this kind of tools can help you to help him to learn in a different way. You can do it.

Cheryl
25:22 - 26:06
Yeah. I mean, it's here. We're not going to be able to avoid it, just like cell phones and social media. I mean, it's here. So can we gear it to, like I said, the powers of good as opposed to the powers of evil? And you talked a little bit about the impact of the future of AI replacing jobs. I would love to hear how do we prepare our kids for the workplace and be able to manage this AI stuff so that we're not preparing kids to go into a career where AI is gonna just replace them anyway.

Cheryl
26:06 - 26:16
So how do we prepare them? What are we putting in their heads? What are we telling them to look for in a career that enhances AI, that enhances their skills with AI?

Jose
26:18 - 27:19
Okay, one thing that I believe is that if AI is here, it's going to be in a disruption way. So one thing that I believe is that more that you know how to use AI, more that you are prepared to manage it. Because now if you, let's think, if you know just a little bit of AI, It's going to replace it. It's going to take over everything on you. So if you know how to manage it, it's going to be better. And my advice is just get into it. Just try to find some application, some ways, find some things that can help you to know about AI.

Jose
27:19 - 28:09
Because it's a disruption that is going to, if you don't know anything, it's going to go over you, over everything on you. So I don't know if you remember last meeting that we have, I was talking with you about agents, AI agents. AI agents are now taking over some groups. It's not only one task. It's a group of tasks that it can be done by AI. Because there are some, there's some structure. There's some like a leader and you have down here like AI agents that it's going to help this leader

Speaker 3
28:09 - 28:10
because

Jose
28:10 - 29:06
this leader is going to tell the other agents, okay, you are specialized on math, you are specialized on science, you are specialized on anything you need. And these agents are going to be specialized because they already have information. As I told you, the applications in health, applications in every field, they are feeding from us. Every time that you interact with the app, you are giving some information. And I can remember in my podcast, I have a friend of mine that we see this, we saw this because It was like this, every time you interact with AI, you are giving your information.

Jose
29:07 - 30:12
And some people use AI like psychologists or as a therapy. And there's some interesting things that you give the AI some really, really sensible information. Like, I don't know, you are, let's see, like, okay, if you tell the AI, well, I have a very difficult day. I have a breakout today. I'm kind of sick. And if you are talking with the AI every day, and you said, yeah, I'm sick again, I have a headache, and I have something, and every day you are telling, how's your life? You are telling the AI, how is your, your life every day, and this AI is catching everything.

Jose
30:12 - 31:05
And if you ask the AI to give a resume, it's going to tell you. It's going to tell you, OK, you wake up at, I don't know, 6 o'clock. You go to bed at 1 AM. And you are sick. You have headache. You have something. You have everything. And it's going to give you a summary of everything that you have. And imagine that it goes to the wrong hands. It can rule an entire town, because let's imagine that you have an AI agent scenario, and there's one bad person that it's using AI, and it wants to rule one country.

Jose
31:07 - 32:06
It can do it because you are giving AI the power of each person in social media is the same. It's catching every move that you are doing, especially the person that takes a picture of what they are eating, where they are eating. I'm here, I'm just eating this. I like to go to these places. I like to buy on these places. Imagine that we put some example, it was Okay, AI, I want to rule one country. Give me the perfect team to rule it. So AI is going to search maybe in a whole country. It has the information of each person that it's good at one thing.

Jose
32:07 - 32:57
let's say um Sherry it's good with interacting with parents okay it's going to classify you it's going to say okay Sherry it's good at this thing it's going to be part of my team my leader team that it's going to to be like this and let's imagine that you are saying that you are sick The AI, it can analyze you and say, okay, if Cheryl doesn't want to go with us, you can say to her that she's sick. That you can, I don't know, provide the medicine to her, or you just can say, okay, if you don't go with us, I know you are sick and I know you are, maybe they can do something with that.

Speaker 3
32:58 - 32:59
Yeah. Oh my

Jose
32:59 - 33:02
gosh. It's really scary. It's really

Speaker 3
33:02 - 33:03
scary.

Jose
33:04 - 33:04
If

Speaker 3
33:04 - 33:04
you

Jose
33:04 - 33:09
think like bigger managing countries, you can do it. You

Speaker 3
33:09 - 33:09
can

Jose
33:09 - 33:13
do it definitely because the phone is on every hand.

Cheryl
33:14 - 33:54
Yeah, yeah. Well, and I'm going to like, I use, I didn't even think about AI for a while. And then I started using bits and pieces and I'll tell you one way that worked for me. And I'll, this is great for parents to know if you have kids, I have ADHD and I'm terrible with blocking time and time management and, I went in there and said, listen, I have ADHD. I run a podcast. I have all of these tasks that need to get done. I get sidetracked. Can you create a task management schedule for me.

Cheryl
33:54 - 34:30
And I got, and the more I did it, the more I got specific about it. I have, you know, I need four breaks a day. I need to go for a walk. I, you know, I don't like to sit at my computer for any amount of time or whatever. And so I'm thinking any, any parent can do this for their kid. And it spit out the most detailed, amazing time management for me. And I just plugged it into my calendar and my daily agenda. And it was just, it was golden. As long as I follow it, I have to be a little committed to follow it.

Cheryl
34:31 - 35:10
But I mean, if you, if parents are finding themselves hounding their kids, get back to work. You didn't get this done, blah, blah. And kids, you know, again, working memory or lack of really feeling the necessity to know what their schedule is. if they're already into technology, which we know our kids are, they can create their own schedule. And then they have it in front of them. And it's something they created. They collaborated with themselves. Parents are no longer nagging. Here's your schedule. Here's your schedule. Check your schedule. That's all you need to say instead of this big argument about get things done.

Cheryl
35:11 - 35:33
So I think in that way, Like the power of AI is, is great. And you just keep plugging in little details, but you're right. You're giving them, you're giving them information about yourself. But when I did this, I thought, Oh, okay, this is cool. Like, this is cool. And there are different things. Like, I think the prompts, right, the prompts are really important.

Jose
35:35 - 35:38
Oh, yeah. It's the main thing. It's

Cheryl
35:38 - 35:38
the main

Jose
35:38 - 35:49
thing because, as you said, there are some scary things about AI, and there are really good things about you can do it with AI.

Speaker 3
35:50 - 35:50
Yeah.

Jose
35:51 - 35:59
And we have to understand that in this case, as you mentioned it prompting, it's the way that you talk with AI.

Speaker 3
36:00 - 36:00
So

Jose
36:00 - 36:10
if you give AI the correct insights, the correct details of what you want to do, it's

Cheryl
36:10 - 36:10
going

Jose
36:11 - 36:47
to help. As more detailed as you do, as more accurate accurate the AI is going to be. So you have to be really detailed. You have to give them a role, a specific role, like you are a specialist in education first. Then you have to structure your prompt as a As you said, I want to go and do this thing, and this thing, and this thing, and this thing, and I only have like three or four hours to do it. How

Speaker 2
36:47 - 36:47
can I

Jose
36:47 - 37:17
do it? Okay. And it is going to help you because it's going to, uh, create this scenario and it's going to give you the perfect timing for those things. So you can adjust that to your day and you can try it. You can try it because you can do it one day and see if you are improving your day. And I'm sure that it is going to help you.

Cheryl
37:18 - 37:55
Yeah, well, and there's something I learned very recently is that you can actually ask AI what prompts they need in order to take, you know what I mean? Like if you don't know what prompts to put in there, you can say, hey, listen, what prompts do you need to help me write a resume? What prompts do you need to help me find this job or learn this certain way? And I'm thinking parents can even put in there and say, my kid is really struggling with this aspect. What, what prompts do you need for me to ask you how to help them with this aspect?

Cheryl
37:55 - 37:59
Like you can like bury, go right down to the core of the question.

Speaker 3
37:59 - 38:01
And

Cheryl
38:01 - 38:18
so if parents are like, I don't know, my kid can't read, they're in grade 10, I don't know what to do. Get in there and say, listen, my kid's in grade 10 and can't read. What prompts do you need to help me support their reading? And there you go.

Jose
38:20 - 39:06
There you go. Yeah, that's a really good use of AI to help you with AI. So you are saying it's a great way because you are telling them to give you the perfect prompt to write it. So in this case, there are many ways that you can interact with AI. And one is that kind of thing. And that's the way that I use every day. My every day is just to ask some things that I just think that I just No, and it's not like that. AI knows more than you in some fields that you even you can't imagine.

Jose
39:06 - 39:49
So if you want some help, go, go there. But you have to be careful in some things like health. Many people just say, I have a headache. What can I do? I can take or what, how can I do it? Maybe it can give you some advices, but in that kind of things that are particularly really, really, you have to be careful with that thing because sometimes some people use it like a doctor and it's not good because in health, they are improving, but there's a big, big, a bunch of data that that AI doesn't know yet.

Jose
39:49 - 40:11
Yeah. So there's a great way that you're saying that parents can can go, just go, go touch it, just download it to your phone, use it. It's the best way to do it. But please don't give AI information that it that you cannot just release.

Cheryl
40:13 - 40:29
Yeah, and I was and I think you just answered this question, but I was going to say as we wrap up. Can you for parents listening? Can you give one or two tactical things that you would advise them immediately about AI with their teens?

Jose
40:31 - 41:22
Oh, yeah, definitely. Use it. One thing is use it. Go into AI. You can search some tools. Find a way to use it. Use these LLMs that are, for example, OpenAI, JGPT, Gemini. The other one is Copilot. the other one, the China one was DeepSeek, that it's a great tool to use it, use it because you are going to find in some ways something that you just don't know. Because you can give a 360 to this using this kind of tools and things that you don't even imagine.

Speaker 3
41:22 - 41:23
Yeah.

Jose
41:23 - 42:12
And the other thing is just be careful in both ways. Use it, but be careful because AI can be a a good enemy to you because if you are using bad, it can harm you in a bad way. So be careful what you are bringing to AI scenario because It can help, but on the other side, it can not help at all. So that's two advices that I can give these parents, as me, as I use some tools to learn, to teach, and it helps a lot. It helps

Cheryl
42:12 - 42:12
a

Jose
42:12 - 42:12
lot,

Cheryl
42:12 - 42:44
