I'm Pilyoung, a professor and psychologist fascinated by one of today's most important questions: how do humans and AI interact and shape one another?
I am also the director of the Center for Brain, A.I., and Child (BAIC), where we bridge developmental science and AI design to protect and support child development.
Studying this relationship professionally means constantly reading cutting-edge research that never makes it beyond academic circles. That is where this newsletter comes in. I share the most compelling findings, break down what they mean for families, educators, and developers, and explore the real-world implications of our AI-connected childhoods.

Papers on Children, Robots, and AI
Research is just the beginning. I also bring you conversations with the people on the front lines: parents navigating how their children can safely use AI, teachers integrating AI tools, developers building for young users, and fellow researchers asking the hard questions.
This is uncharted territory for all of us. Join me as we explore it together.
