How tech CEOs approach parenting

Leading figures in technology have described a range of parenting approaches, from strict screen limits and household chores to embracing digital tools and AI in child-rearing. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has said ChatGPT helped him with raising a newborn, that his child "will never be smarter than AI" but will be "more capable," and that he favors a high-tech crib called Cradlewise; he has also mentioned practical lessons such as the importance of burp rags.

Mark Zuckerberg emphasizes teaching children to think critically, learn values, take on responsibilities and chores, and limits long periods of television or computer use. Anne Wojcicki described keeping her children grounded by preserving everyday tasks like laundry and cutting their hair herself, while Satya Nadella and his wife stress pursuing children’s interests, limiting certain media and encouraging responsibility such as pet ownership; Sundar Pichai has described helping with homework and using Google Lens as a tool.
