Math Careers in a World of AI 

Nobody can tell you what careers will look like in twenty years and that uncertainty is exactly where this conversation begins. Rather than chase a moving target, this talk asks a different question: what kind of thinker does your child need to become to create those jobs, or bring something irreplaceable to the ones that exist? In a world where AI has made answers a commodity, questions are where the value lives. The ability to ask them, make connections across disciplines, and iterate without giving up is what makes someone indispensable. Gifted kids are already wired this way. This talk is about helping them trust that instinct and build the foundation to change things.
