In this episode of Education Vanguard, host Justin Hardman is joined by Rob LoCascio, American entrepreneur and founder and former CEO of LivePerson. Known for pioneering web-based chat, Rob now turns his attention to a new challenge: how children experience technology in an AI-driven world.
Drawing on both professional expertise and personal experience as a parent, Rob discusses the impact of devices on children’s behaviour, the risks of addictive design, and why purpose-built technology for creativity and connection matters. The conversation explores the role of parents, the importance of shared experiences, and how AI can be designed as a tool for good rather than passive consumption.
A thoughtful listen for educators, school leaders, parents, and anyone reflecting on the future of learning, technology, and childhood.
