The AI Babysitter Generation exposes how voice assistants like Alexa are stealthily reshaping child development, replacing human interaction with algorithmic parenting. The book argues that AI's 24/7 availability and instant gratification are eroding critical skills, curiosity, empathy, patience, and critical thinking, while Big Tech amasses intimate data on families. Through research and case studies, it reveals alarming trends: kids anthropomorphizing devices, struggling with social cues, and expecting flawless responses from humans. The solution isn't Luddism but a balanced approach. Part I diagnoses the problem (AI as an "invisible third parent"); Part II unpacks hidden dangers (privacy invasions, stifled creativity); Part III offers a pragmatic 5-step recovery plan to restore human connection, foster independent thinking, and set tech boundaries. A urgent, evidence-based manifesto, it empowers parents to reclaim their role while preparing kids for an AI-saturated future, without losing their humanity.
