Business Insider published a first-person essay on June 14, 2026, in which a parent describes using AI every day in her corporate leadership role while her teenage son refuses to use AI at all. The essay recounts household conversations where the parent offers ‘Let’s ask AI’ as a routine research step, and the teen – influenced by YouTube content and peers – views AI as an existential threat. The piece illustrates an intergenerational divide in attitudes toward AI and the challenges of translating workplace tool adoption into constructive discussions about ethics and practice.
