Digital technologies are reshaping how families negotiate care, authority, and responsibility, yet these dynamics remain understudied in religiously situated family life. Through interviews with 38 adult members of Bangladeshi Muslim families, we examine how family members guide one another across religious, digital, and AI-mediated contexts. We find that authority did not simply follow age or family hierarchy: older members often remained sources of religious and familial guidance, while younger members increasingly provided expertise around digital risks, information credibility, and AI. Families also actively shaped digital environments and negotiated the role AI could occupy in everyday relationships. We develop the concepts of household epistemic governance, counter-curation, and domain-dependent authority to explain these shifting relations of knowledge and responsibility. Our findings suggest opportunities for family technologies that support negotiated boundaries, credible information practices, and culturally situated forms of care.
