In this episode of the Where Parents Talk podcast, host Lianne Castelino is joined by global technology thought leader, business executive, educator, musician and bestselling author Don Tapscott to explore the rise of identic AI and why understanding it is no longer optional for families.
Drawing on insights from his latest book, You to the Power of Two: Redefining Human Potential in the Age of Identic AI, Tapscott explains how AI is evolving from a simple tool into an intelligent extension of who we are — with profound implications for parenting.
As artificial intelligence rapidly becomes part of everyday life, parents are facing new questions about how technology may shape their children’s identity, judgment, and wellbeing.
The conversation examines how technology can influence children’s emotional health, critical thinking, and sense of self, and why parents play a vital role in guiding values and judgment in an AI-driven world.

“…today, your identity is something that’s expressed in data often because we leave a trail, and kids do too. A trail of digital crumbs as we go throughout life, and the virtual.”
