Sam Altman Says Early Childhood May Be the Wrong Time to Introduce AI

Sam Altman says early childhood may be the wrong time for AI. As a parent, he thinks developing brains deserve more protection from technologies that are still not fully understood.
- Watching children glued to short-form "brain rot" content gives him a strong instinct that constant screen exposure is harmful
- Kids born today will grow up in an AI-powered world and eventually need to know how to use the technology
- Altman doubts early childhood is the right time to introduce AI, even if it becomes essential later in life
