Any parentwill know how hard it can be to try and settle kids debates and arguments - but one dad has found an easy way to shut down any family spat without even having to get involved.

Father-of-five Adam Lyons says artificial intelligence has become an essential part of his household and as an AI expertand entrepreneur, he uses AI tools on a daily basis and said it even helps to settle his kids arguments for him.

From using them to help run his businesses, he even uses it to help teach his home-schooled children, aged from five to 15 and actively encourages them to use it for all aspects of their life. Adam, who is originally from the UK but now lives on a ranch in Texas says it makes his life easier as a parent, and thinks everyone should utilise using AI.

Speaking about his kids, he said: "They use AI for almost every single task that they need help with and they’re all grade A students. When they get argumentative, I’ll ask AI for a second opinion.

"My kids can argue forever but so can AI – it is endlessly patient. They try to argue with it and invariably fail and end up agreeing with AI, which is pretty cool to watch. Our whole house is integrated with AI – it even controls the thermostat and lighting."

The 44-year-old, who teaches MBA students about entrepreneurship and AI at the University of Texas said AI is just one of many tools which makes his job as a parent easier. And he is a firm believer that it will soon become an integral part of most people’s everyday lives.

He added: "My 15-year-old and my 10-year-old are both very proficient in AI. They use AI for pretty much everything and ask it questions instead of turning to Google. They really don't use Google very often. They use YouTube or AI to get their information."

While his eldest son Oliver has already graduated from high school despite being only 15, creating his own video game using AI code as his graduation project. And he has even completed certification to become a Chief AI Officer. The proud dad gushed: "I believe he is the youngest qualified Chief AI Officer in the world, although I co-own chiefaiofficer.com so that is slightly cheating."

His younger children Dorian, aged five, Ivy, aged seven, and Orion, who is almost eight, all use AI on a daily basis. The serial entrepreneur, who home educates his children as well as leading his businesses, explained: "Outside of school, the younger children tend to just use voice dictation and talk to their AI, which is really fascinating to see.

"They use AI for almost every single task that they need help with. We also use it to have fun too. One thing I will do when my kids are bored, is use AI to create a choose-your-adventure story for whatever they are into at the time.

"They can then go through the story and it keeps them entertained for hours. At night-time, if they're getting argumentative about something they don't want to do, like a chore - I'll argue with them for a moment. But after I get to about three minutes of arguing, I say, "Well, why don't we just get a second opinion?" And then I'll let them continue the argument with AI.

"And it's nice, because I've got five kids. So, if one kid is having a digital argument, I'll be able to focus on the other kids and help them get ready for bed."
