Business Insider is looking for freelance writers, journalists, essayists, and parents with strong personal or reported story ideas around AI and parenting. Deputy Editor Conz Preti is specifically commissioning nuanced, honest stories exploring how tools like Claude are reshaping family dynamics, attention, work habits, and parenting culture.

This is not a generic “AI productivity tips” callout. Insider wants emotionally intelligent, deeply reported, or first-person stories examining the complicated reality of parents using AI tools in everyday life.

Some of the themes they’re actively interested in include:

• Parents using Claude or AI tools during kids’ activities like soccer practice or swim meets
• Whether AI genuinely helps parents become more present by reducing workload
• Children observing adults constantly interacting with AI systems
• The impact of AI on family attention spans, communication, and screen habits
• How parents justify increased screen use in the AI era
• What kids are learning about work, technology, and adulthood from watching parents use AI

This is a strong opportunity for freelance writers covering parenting trends, technology culture, digital wellness, modern family life, and AI ethics. Writers with lived experience, unique reporting access, or sharp cultural analysis angles may stand out.

When pitching, include:

• Who you are
• Your proposed angle or story idea
• Why you’re the right person to write it
