How Will AI Affect How We Raise Children? | Meghan Puglia | TEDxMidAtlantic

Developmental neuroscientist and mother Meghan Puglia explores the most critical window in human development — the first 1,000 days of life — and what it reveals about raising children in an AI-driven world. Drawing on cutting-edge science and deeply human moments, she explains why connection, intention, and even imperfection are essential for building resilient brains. This talk challenges us to think more carefully about how technology fits into raising future generations. Dr. Meghan Puglia is a neuroscientist, storyteller, educator, and data enthusiast – passionate about understanding how brains are built and how early experiences shape who we become. In her own words, "I lead the Developmental Neuroanalytics Lab, where we use brain imaging and data science to understand how babies grow, learn, and thrive – especially those born prematurely or at risk for developmental challenges. My work looks at how biology and experience come together to influence each child’s unique development, behavior, and health – from infancy and beyond. But I don’t think science should stay hidden in academic journals. I care deeply about making research understandable and useful for parents, health professionals, and curious minds everywhere. It is my mission to take our science from the lab to your living room. I’m committed to writing about child development, collaborating on early childhood and health science projects, and hosting my new podcast, called Un-Hidden Curriculum – where I will be sharing behind-the-scenes insights on science, the brain, and navigating academic life. I’m also a first-generation college graduate and a mom, and I know how challenging it can be to carve out space in places not built with you in mind. I believe everyone deserves access to knowledge, and the power to shape it. That’s why I’m devoted to building tools, stories, and resources that help people connect with science that they can trust, understand, and use to make informed decisions that will benefit current and future generations." This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
