Everyone’s saying AI has taken over our daily lives, but it goes further than we imagine.
Whether it’s for research, challenging ideas or automating internal processes, artificial intelligence has now made its way into every corner of our professional lives.
But this quiet revolution goes even further: it’s finding its way into our personal lives and into our families.
This summer, we went on holiday with one extra family member, one who told us what to visit and what to do nearby.
It helped my teenager redecorate their bedroom for the new school year: colours, furniture, where to buy it close to home…
It put together practice quizzes for an entrance exam that’s still 8 years away.
And all of it without a phone, without WhatsApp, just a computer and voice messages.
Where we’ve seen the damage done by social media and the harmful drift that came with it, AI has become young people’s go-to interlocutor.
That’s exactly why it’s so important to teach them to cross-check sources, compare answers from several models, understand how AI actually works, and above all, not to blindly trust a single tool.
Our teenagers need to understand what’s at stake, but we, as adults, also need to take the question of digital sovereignty head-on.
Because the AI our families use every day runs on infrastructure. That infrastructure has a nationality, a jurisdiction, interests of its own. And that’s precisely where it all starts.
