AI and Education - The Positive Potential

There seems to be widespread agreement that AI will revolutionize the way we live and work. The biggest question, for now, is whether or not that revolution will be positive or negative. Will AI improve our quality of life, as its proponents say? Will it allow us to produce better work more efficiently? Or, as the detractors argue, will it make us more anxious, stressed, and busy? Will AI only further disrupt our relationships and, in the process, dehumanize us? 

In this episode, the third installment in a four part series, Aaron and Ron discuss the positive potential that AI has for education. In the process they discuss the ways that AI could prove helpful to teachers and students and, ultimately, allow for improved relationships and a more humane education.
