Artificial intelligence is changing how students learn – and how parents think about the future. According to AI for Education, AI tools are becoming more common in schools, with platforms that can personalize learning, automate grading, and even help students brainstorm writing assignments. But these tools also raise important questions about privacy, equity, and the role of human interaction in education.
As a parent, you may wonder what all this means for your child’s future. If traditional classrooms evolve, will college still be the goal? Will technical certifications or portfolio-based careers become more common? How can families prepare for what’s ahead when the landscape is shifting so quickly?
At UNest, we believe flexibility is key. That’s why we advocate for early, consistent saving in UTMA custodial accounts – investment accounts for kids that are not limited to education expenses. Whether your child eventually attends a university, enrolls in a coding bootcamp, or starts their own business, a UTMA can help support that path.
The world is changing fast. But one thing hasn’t changed: kids thrive when parents plan ahead. Saving even a small amount each month – $25, for example – can create meaningful opportunities over time.
We can’t predict exactly what the future will look like. But we can prepare for it.
