Episode notes

Schools are trying to figure out AI in real time, but students are already living with the results.

In this special repost episode, Daniel brings back a short conversation with Pat Belliveau to open our student series on AI and education. Pat raises a hard question: if AI is already part of the world students are growing up into, what does it mean for schools to treat it mainly as a threat? There is a real risk when teachers rely on AI detection tools that aren't reliable, and real damage that can follow when students are accused on that basis.

That is why we wanted to start the series here.

In the next few episodes, Daniel will be sharing short interviews with high school students about how they are now, really using AI, what they think about it, and how they see it shaping their future. We hear plenty from adults on this topic. This series is an attempt to make room for students to speak for themselves.
