Wer schützt unsere Kinder?

School principal and digital expert Silke Müller warns against leaving children alone with artificial intelligences. In her thought-provoking book, she analyzes what the AI revolution means for education and upbringing. She offers practical advice on how parents can protect and competently guide their children.

Eleven-year-olds asking their avatars for advice when they experience their first crush. Teenagers in video chats with pedophiles disguised as peers through AI. Cheating with ChatGPT and similar tools leading to the criminalization of children. Artificial intelligence is on everyone's lips, yet hardly anyone has a clear idea of how fundamentally it will change our lives—and what threats it poses, especially to children.

Silke Müller is a school principal in Lower Saxony and the digital commissioner for her state. She witnesses daily the dangers that children and adolescents face due to AI. For most parents, grandparents, and educators, however, artificial intelligence is uncharted territory. The dangers it poses are not fully understood by most. In her number-one bestseller "We Are Losing Our Children," Silke Müller already highlighted the dangers in social networks. Now she is addressing the most important topic in digital education: AI. She explains what the latest developments mean for parents and families and how we can safely and competently involve children and teenagers in it.

"Most parents were familiar with social media. With AI, parents and grandparents often feel left behind. Yet our world will soon change completely.".
