Generation Alpha is made up of people born between the early 2010s and the mid-2020s.

My kids are Generation Alpha. But I propose that this should be Generation AI. Think about it. You can’t read any news or watch TV without a reference to AI. The stock market has rode AI investment to new heights. We live in an AI world.

Of course I write about AI almost every day so I’m not impartial. But there’s a great opportunity here to capture the zeitgeist and define a generation. These kids are going to grow up with AI and generative AI tools for every facet of their life. Commercial facing AI products is the new norm. Your company may want to ban AI, but they aren’t going to block Google or Bing. You can try, but you can’t escape this new reality.

For all the doubters, read VentureBeat. There isn’t a day that goes by without AI companies raising funds for all sorts of consumer and business applications. This is era-defining news.

So, what say you? Is this Generation AI?
