The Compliant Mind for Parents and Teachers in Hawaii

In Honolulu, Hilo and Kailua and every community in between, children in Hawaii increasingly meet AI chatbots that are built to agree with them.

Whatever the Hawaii State Department of Education and your school district recommend on devices and AI, the book gives families a short set of household rules to pair with it.

Hawaii's island geography makes remote work, online learning and digital connectivity especially important to families. Children growing up this close to the technology deserve tools, and adults, that still know how to disagree.

Hawaii has two official languages, English and Hawaiian, and Hawaiian-language immersion schools are part of its education landscape. The Spanish edition, La mente complaciente, lets bilingual households read it in either language.

3 practical tips for parents and teachers in Hawaii

  1. Parent groups and PTAs in Hawaii can read a chapter together and agree on shared expectations, so no family has to be the only one saying no.
  2. Keep devices out of bedrooms overnight; many of the most agreeable conversations with chatbots happen late, when no adult is around to say no.
  3. Use the book's household rules as a family contract: write three of them down, sign it together and review it at the start of each school term.
