In this episode of the Integrate This EdTech Podcast, hosts David Berner and Jeremy Mikla sit down with Vera Cubero, Emerging Technologies Consultant for the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. Vera shares her journey from middle school teacher to one of the lead architects of North Carolina's statewide AI guidelines — one of the first four states in the nation to publish them. The conversation covers building multi-stakeholder AI policy, training teachers on AI tools, the importance of living documents over rigid policy, AI literacy for students and families, concerns about deepfakes and companion chatbots, and what's coming next.
