How AI can make education better w/ Dr. Gregory Banks (ep. #79)

Lately, AI seems to be everywhere: on my phone, in many conversations with friends, on TV, and in what feels like every sci-fi film. Whether you are up to speed or not, you won't be able to escape it sooner or later. If it eventually becomes our Terminator or our best friend and lover, only time will tell.  For now, I'm seeking bright spots and inspiring individuals who are working hard to ensure we all benefit. Dr. Gregory Banks is an educator, researcher, entrepreneur, and thought leader in education technology. With a PhD in Chemistry and a strong focus on how teacher beliefs shape classroom practice, Greg combines insightful classroom experiences with rigorous academic research. His Substack, Aligned: AI in Education, along with his newly released book, aims to bridge the gap between EdTech creators and the classroom. This was a fascinating and enjoyable conversation, and it's always encouraging to see people like Dr. Banks actively fighting for a better future.
