This episode explores how schools are adapting to powerful new AI technologies like ChatGPT that can generate remarkably human-like text and content. We discuss plagiarism risks and integrity concerns, but also opportunities to enhance learning if these tools are integrated thoughtfully. Key takeaways:
- AI literacy is crucial as generative models become widespread
- Assessments should evaluate skills AI can't easily replicate like analysis and communication
- Teachers play an indispensable role overseeing ethical usage and fostering metacognition
- With prudent design, AI can augment instruction and provide personalized guidance
- Curricula should balance generative AI with activities that build creative problem-solving abilities and knowledge depth
By upholding academic rigor and human engagement, schools can realize the promise of AI to make education more accessible, engaging, and adaptive. But human wisdom must steer its course so emerging technologies empower students rather than replace them.

This podcast was generated with the help of artificial intelligence. We do fact check with human eyes, but there might still be hallucinations in the output. The topic of the episode was inspired by an episode from the New York Times Podcast "Hard Fork" which I totally recommend - not just the episode, but the whole podcast!
