Hi Ammis and friends!
Every Monday, we’d like to start the week with safety by sharing an AI safety topic and some actionable tips from our AI Safety Moments library.
Please take five minutes this week to weave this AI safety topic into your dinner table conversation, your workplace meeting, or your community gathering.
Forward this Safety Moment to someone you’d like to see safe and healthy in the AI age 🌿
👀 Stay tuned for our regular ammi.ai newsletter this week, featuring a useful tool, a demystified topic, and Ammi-sourced tidbits. Spoiler alert: it’s a special back-to-school edition!
2 quick announcements from our garden:

Please share this with 3 of your favorite Ammis and friends!
Thanks so much for your support 🙂
Join us TONIGHT for a conversation about compassion in the AI age 🌿
In our last newsletter, I shared an article, The Gaza Paradox, that contrasted AI innovation against ongoing humanitarian crises. It blew me away. The thesis was simple, but profound: "perhaps, instead of more compute, we need more compassion."
I'm thrilled and honored that the author of that piece, Dr. Cornelia C. Walther, will join me on LinkedIn Live to explore her work.
A UN humanitarian leader of 20+ years and Senior Wharton Fellow, she’s been answering the questions that matter most to the ammi.ai community:
- How do we collaborate with AI without losing our humanity?
- How do we raise our kids for the AI age?
- How do we use this technology without harming people or the planet?
Here's just a sliver of her incredible body of work:
🌿Leaving an AI legacy for Generation Alpha
🌿Prosocial AI: AI that helps people and the planet
🌿'Hybrid intelligence', a model for healthy human-AI collaboration
Tonight, I’m excited to dig deeper during LinkedIn Live.
Join us for a conversation on AI that benefits the people and planet, AI that amplifies instead of replaces, and why compassion might be the greatest competitive edge in the AI age.
Join us!

Today’s AI Safety Moment:
Hardcore AI fatigue? Same.
Here’s how I’m dealing with it as a mom and AI literacy advocate.
AI fatigue is when the constant flood of AI news, updates, and hype — plus the endless deluge of AI-generated content — leaves you feeling tired, drained, or just over it.
Even though our whole ‘thing’ here at ammi.ai is advocating for mothers and friends to learn about AI and join the AI conversation, I get that it’s exhausting to hear about it all the time. And it’s hard to keep up!
Here are 3 ways I’m fighting AI fatigue as a mom who is both AI-excited and AI-exhausted:
1️⃣ Go outside and touch grass.

I’m here for the touch grass movement. It’s a call to action to promote our individual and collective well-being by disconnecting from the virtual world and reconnecting with the natural world. I try to offset the AI-ness of ammi.ai with our foliage-centric themes. But nothing beats real sunlight, leaves, grass, and trees.
Here’s a lovely compilation of tips and pics by National Geographic to get out there and ‘touch grass’🌾
2️⃣ Read children’s books.
Reading a human-written, human-illustrated book is an incredibly effective antidote for AI fatigue. I don’t know what’s going on, or maybe it’s because I came back into the children’s book game after almost two decades, but these children’s book illustrators and authors are popping off — operating at the highest levels of creativity. One of our favorite library book finds is Have You Ever Seen a Flower by Shawn Harris. Can’t wait to check out the rest of his work!
3️⃣ Find people who don’t hype the tech, but focus on how it impacts people and the planet.

Number 1 and 2 are moreso in your hands, but I can help with this one! Join me to talk about how we can advocate for AI that helps the people and the planet during Linkedin Live, tonight, with Dr. Cornelia C. Walther!
As it stands, the responsibility to stay safe in the AI age falls on us. The good news is: when enough of us grow our AI literacy, and join the AI conversation, change can happen.
The best path forward is by taking the time to do what you’re doing right now! Take a moment to reflect on AI safety. Weave a small AI safety discussion or practice into your life this week.
As I like to say — mind your pics, mind your files, mind your details—and stay safe out there, Ammis!
Thanks for spending a few of your precious, precious minutes with us.
