Travis Scott is drawing a clear boundary between fame, technology, and fatherhood. In a new interview, the rapper reflects on raising Stormi and Aire, how becoming a dad reshaped his mindset, and why he believes limiting artificial intelligence is essential to protecting his children’s long-term creativity and cognitive growth. He insists that real-world learning must come first in his young children’s daily lives.
Travis Scott’s kids and His Firm Stance on AI
Fatherhood has forced Travis Scott to slow down and rethink his priorities. Speaking candidly in a chat with Rolling Stone, about life with Stormi, 7, and Aire, 3, he admitted, “You can’t crash out. You can’t do a lot of crazy [expletive] like you would.” The responsibility, he says, has changed everything.
Scott also sees himself in his children, whom he shares with Kylie Jenner, especially when curiosity takes over. “My kids are just like me when it comes to trying to get off ideas,” he shared, recalling a trip to Disney Imagineering where Aire was captivated by robots and futuristic designs. Technology excites them, but only to a point.
When it comes to artificial intelligence, Scott is unapologetically strict. “My kids don’t have AI,” he said plainly, explaining his concern that early exposure could stunt development.
“Having AI right now will compress their ability for their brain to maximize,” he added.
For him, the foundation matters more than convenience. “So they got to learn the physical and the actual way of learning, so then they know how to actually use AI to their best ability, because if it’s doing everything for you, how do you even know what’s right or wrong?”
Celebrities Pushing Back on AI’s Rapid Rise
Scott’s skepticism toward Artificial Intelligence echoes a growing unease across the entertainment industry. Stars including Scarlett Johansson, Cate Blanchett, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt have backed the Human Artistry Campaign, criticizing how AI tools are trained.
One campaign message warns, “Big Tech is trying to change the law so they can keep stealing American artistry to build their AI businesses – without authorization and without paying the people who did the work. That is wrong; it’s un-American, and it’s theft on a grand scale.”
Campaign advisor Dr. Moiya McTier summed up the philosophy neatly: “Real innovation comes from the human motivation to change our lives. It moves opportunity forward while driving economic growth and creating jobs.”
Celebrities reflect the same core concern Scott has as a parent, which is that technology should support creativity, not replace it. In that sense, his approach to raising his kids feels less radical and more visionary.
