47. Building an AI Table to Solve the 80%: A CEO's Story and Vision for Transforming Education

While the AI boom of the last year and a half continues to be novel for many of us, there are pioneers in the field who’ve thought about AI in education for decades. 

As the leader of InnovateEDU, Erin Mote, has served as a thought leader and coalition builder to leverage technology, research, and policy to catalyze transformation in education. 

One such focus area of InnovateEDU has been the EDSAFE AI Alliance, which engages in multiple policy and education efforts to ensure SAFE use of AI in education.

I learned so much from Erin around the historical evolution of InnovateEDU, their current strategies and tactics around AI implementation, how she envisions transformation in education, privacy implications, and much more. 

In addition to my takeaways below, I wanted to double click on an aspect of Erin’s story which resonated for me - while it can be scary to make a hard pivot in life which potentially puts you in an uncertain, uncomfortable circumstance, life is too short to not run full speed at your purpose and passion.
