A student's take on learning in the age of AI

What does school look like through the eyes of a 15-year-old who actually uses AI to learn, not just to finish homework faster?

In this episode of Education Futures, Laurent & Svenia sit down with Hudson, a high school student from San Diego who is already doing computer science education research, and working with a UCSD mentor on learning science–informed approaches to teaching.

Hudson shares a strikingly clear perspective on what’s broken in today’s education system, and what could be rebuilt in the age of AI.

Rather than focusing on AI literacy, tools, or prompt engineering, he argues for something deeper: teaching students how to think.
