Louise Curcio has spent her career inside kids' culture, holding senior roles at Mattel and Upper Deck and working on licensed toys and games for Nickelodeon and Disney. She has been at the forefront of vision care products that help slow myopia progression in children.
She currently is a Strategic Advisor to KidSay, a youth research firm with 25+ years collecting data and spotting trends from real conversations with kids and parents.
This March, she authored KidSay's Tweens, Teens & AI, How Kids Ages 8-15 Think About, Use and Trust AI. The report is based on nationally representative study of 1,200 US kids ages 8-15, during the opening months of 2025-2026 school year. It provides a snapshot of how elementary and middle school kids use, trust, and think about AI.
Like many parents, she knows the conversation about kids and technology never really ends.
