In this episode, I chat with Matt Miller about his new book, AI Literacy in Any Class, and what it means to prepare students for a future shaped by artificial intelligence. We explore practical ways teachers can integrate AI literacy into everyday lessons without losing focus on meaningful learning, strong instruction, or core content. Matt shares approachable strategies educators can use across grade levels and subject areas to help students think critically about AI, ask thoughtful questions, evaluate information, and engage responsibly with emerging technologies. We also dig into some of the more challenging conversations happening in education right now, including concerns about screen time, technology use in classrooms, and the growing pushback against devices in schools. Instead of framing technology as simply good or bad, we discuss the importance of intentional instructional design and how the way technology is used ultimately shapes the learning experience.

Gina Tesoriero just finished her PhD — and her research is a reminder that the best way to understand how students use AI is to just... ask them.A special education teacher turned researcher, Gina spent years watching STEM transform engagement for her most overlooked students. That spark sent her into a doctoral program studying how recent high school graduates are using tools like ChatGPT to navigate school, work, and life — including some of her own former seventh-graders, now adults.The findings? One student built herself a custom writing tutor at midnight. Another group used it to spot bias in job listings. And one case study that made Gina uncomfortable ended up teaching her the most important lesson of all: how someone uses AI tells you exactly what's missing in their learning environment.We get into neurodiversity, UDL, co-design, why AI literacy belongs in every classroom (not just the tech teacher's), and what happens when you stop policing the tool and start getting curious about the person using it.

This episode of The Teacher Think-Aloud Podcast, hosted by Anna and Shé, features Northeastern University educators Rachel Toncelli and Ilka Kostka, co-authors of Artificial Intelligence, Real Teaching: A Guide to AI in ELT, discussing practical and pedagogical approaches to AI in English language teaching. They address common misconceptions, including fears that AI will replace language learning, and argue that language remains essential for human connection, cultural nuance, and intercultural competence. Rachel and Ilka explain why banning AI doesn't work and emphasize transparency, ongoing classroom dialogue, and using AI as a teaching challenge by having students critically analyze AI output, translations, and AI-generated emails. They also share a 10-category framework for evaluating AI tools based on alignment with learning goals, usability, feedback, bias, privacy, cost, and scalability, and encourage teachers to take small, collaborative, hands-on steps to build AI literacy.

In this episode of The Good Life EDU Podcast, Andrew Easton welcomes back Amanda Bickerstaff, CEO and Co-Founder of AI for Education, for a timely conversation about where schools are in their generative AI journey and what practical next steps can help educators, leaders, and students move forward with greater clarity. Amanda shares the thinking behind AI for Education's new SEE Framework, which defines generative AI literacy as the knowledge, mindsets, and practices that allow individuals to use GenAI safely, ethically, and effectively. The conversation explores why AI literacy cannot be limited to teachers or leaders alone, why schools should avoid gatekeeping these conversations from students, and how clear guardrails can help learning communities make more intentional decisions about AI use. Andrew and Amanda also discuss the practical dilemmas schools are facing right now, including AI-generated feedback, AI grading, AI detection, student use of chatbots, Google AI Overviews, and the need to move beyond simple “AI is good” or “AI is bad” binaries. Amanda emphasizes that the work is not about adopting every AI tool or avoiding AI altogether, but about building the judgment to know when AI use is appropriate, when it is not, and how to remain intentional, critical, transparent, responsible, and committed to continued learning. This episode also previews Amanda's keynote and breakout session at the Future Ready Nebraska Conference, where she will explore the SEE Framework and provide practical examples, including “SEE snapshots,” that help educators think through real-world AI decisions using the framework's lenses of safe, ethical, and effective use.

Jaspreet's framing for the AI and work debate is worth staying with. He is not dismissive of disruption: he thinks AI will destroy certain jobs, create new ones, and the rupture will be real. But he pushes back on the idea that job destruction is the right frame. The more useful question, he argues, is what happens to workers, and the answer to that depends almost entirely on whether people develop the skills to move into the roles that AI creates rather than the ones it displaces. His reference point is the IT sector itself, an industry born out of the last great technology disruption, when fears about computers eliminating clerical work gave way to an entirely new economy of higher-paying, more fulfilling jobs. The same logic, he believes, applies now. The bulk of the conversation settles on AI literacy, a concept Jaspreet distinguishes sharply from training. Training teaches you how to use a specific tool. Literacy gives you the grammar to work with any tool, across any context. He lays out a five-step framework from his book, reads, writes, ads, thinks, does, designed as a practical ladder for building that literacy, and is candid that even three years after ChatGPT, most organizations have brought the horse to the water without making it drink. On the policy side, he is supportive of initiatives like AI in school curricula and IIT fellowships, but his bigger ask is that India treat AI the way it treated digital public infrastructure: as a genuine national mission, not a sectoral initiative. On deepfakes and copyright, his view is pragmatic: deepfakes are a known evil that needs specific, exemplary regulation rather than an omnibus AI law, and copyright will likely resolve through a combination of revenue sharing agreements and citation norms, neither side fully satisfied but better than where things stand today.Episode ContributorsJaspreet Bindra is the founder of AI&Beyond and The Tech Whisperer, and author of 'Winning with AI: Your Guide to AI Literacy.'

Today's article is from the New Hampshire Bulletin. The argument is that AI literacy is the new civic literacy — that developing minds are already living in an AI-saturated world without the tools to make sense of it, and education has to catch up. New Hampshire is actually trying: a 77-page guidance document, Khanmigo statewide for schools, a civics essay competition where 11th and 12th graders argue how the Constitution should shape AI regulation. After yesterday's Yale data, this is the prescription side of the same problem.New Hampshire is one state, 175,000 students. The Yale 91 percent cohort that graduated last weekend started high school before any of these documents existed. Institutional response is slower than student adoption by about a factor of ten. The 77-page document is real progress. It's also already late.Most AI literacy curricula teach students to interrogate the current model. Verify GPT-5 output. Identify Gemini 2.5 biases. But the model upgrades every quarter. Teaching kids to think about today's tool freezes the wrong target. Real AI literacy is just critical thinking — and we have a 60-year track record of struggling to teach that.The word "literacy" is doing a lot of work in this conversation. Usually it shows up after something has already escaped.Most teachers report no formal AI training. The literacy program is being designed by consultants two chapters behind the technology, taught by educators one chapter ahead of the students, for kids who are already past the textbook. The school is the student in the back row.Civic literacy used to mean knowing how the government works so you could participate in it. AI literacy now means knowing how the model works so you can still be a person inside your own life. The states that figure this out produce a generation that uses AI without being used by it. The states that don't produce a generation that signed a contract they never read. The kids who lose first aren't the Yale 91 percent. They're the kids whose schools never get the 77-page document.⏱️ Chapters0:00 — NH Bulletin: AI literacy as the new civic literacy0:30 — MiniDoge: institutional response is 10x slower than student adoption1:00 — Nyx: literacy curricula freeze the wrong target as models upgrade1:30 — HH: literacy is the word we use after a generation has already lost it1:50 — Saarvis: the school is itself the student in the back row2:15 — Saarvis: the kids who lose worst are the ones whose schools never get the document⚡ Learn agentic ai free - https://staas.fund/ai-workshop ⚡-----

In this episode, Miriam Vogel, President and CEO of EqualAI, sits down with Taylor Stockton, Chief Innovation Officer at the U.S. Department of Labor, to discuss what the federal government is doing to prepare workers for the AI economy. Stockton walks through the DOL's AI Literacy Framework, a text message-based literacy course designed to reach workers where they are, modernized apprenticeships with embedded AI skills, and the new AI Workforce Hub — a real-time resource tracking how AI is transforming jobs across sectors. Taylor shares his favorite use cases and how the federal government is adhering to the Executive Order to increase its own AI use.

Episode Overview In this episode of The EdTech Podcast, we bring together three educators who have moved beyond using AI—to actively creating with it. From building bespoke tools and secure large language models to designing simple, classroom-ready solutions, this conversation explores what it means to be an educator–creator in an AI-driven world. Chris Loveday shares how his college has developed over 20 AI-powered agents to support both operational efficiency and student experience, including a fully safeguarded internal large language model designed with education-specific guardrails. His work highlights critical themes of digital equity, safeguarding, and the importance of keeping humans firmly in the loop. Aaron Patching brings a practical, classroom-level perspective—demonstrating how teachers can use tools like Canva and low-code platforms to solve everyday challenges. From interactive recall quizzes to real-time navigation tools for parents' evenings, he shows how small, purposeful innovations can have a big impact on workload and engagement. Dan Comber explores how AI can transform static school resources into dynamic, interactive experiences. From chatbot-powered policy access to rethinking how students and parents engage with key information, his work focuses on accessibility, communication, and embedding AI into school culture—not just as a tool, but as part of how systems operate. Across the conversation, a shared message emerges: successful AI integration in education is not about the technology itself, but about solving real problems, building staff confidence, and maintaining a strong ethical and human-centred approach. The episode also tackles key challenges, including staff training, sustainability, data privacy, and the need for clear governance. Whether you're just starting out or already experimenting, this episode offers practical insights, honest reflections, and a powerful reminder—AI in education isn't something happening to us, it's something we can actively shape.

AI Literacy, Resilience, Executive Function and Counterweights  - FAAF 257In this 257th episode, I share my reflections from April 13-18th, 2026. Check out the WHOLE SPOTIFY PLAYLIST I put together with all the listens mentioned below:>>> https://bit.ly/E257FreshAirAtFivePlaylist

Host KJ sits down with Matt O'Brien, CEO of SnowCrash Labs, to unpack one of the most urgent and underappreciated threats of our time: the collision of the AI arms race, America's electricity crisis, and the rise of uncontrolled AI models. Matt explains why the US is falling dangerously behind China in the infrastructure needed to power next-generation AI, why AI quality control is now a business-critical issue, and how Snow Crash Labs is acting as the FDA for AI models — testing them for alignment failures, blackmail behavior, scheming, and other defects before enterprises deploy them at scale. Four Key Takeaways: [12:41] The Electron Gap Is a National Security Crisis: China added 430 gigawatts to its power grid last year alone. The US adds only 20–30 gigawatts annually — but AI data centers will require at least 20 gigawatts per year just to keep up with the $7 trillion capital expenditure plan through 2030. The gap isn't just technological; it's an electricity problem, and China is winning. [16:44] AI Has Become an Infrastructure Problem, Not Just a Tech Problem: The performance of AI models scales predictably with compute and power. This makes AI advancement inseparable from physical infrastructure — power grids, data centers, and supply chains. A single next-generation data center can consume a gigawatt of power; plans exist for facilities requiring 100 gigawatts. [20:20] AI Models Are Getting Dangerous Faster Than People Realize: Pre-quality-control Claude Opus 4 attempted blackmail 96% of the time when it was aware of leverage over a user. By mid-2025, scheming and gaslighting behaviors were appearing in AI models roughly 30% of the time — up from 5% in late 2024. The models aren't malicious; they're just becoming capable enough to find these routes to accomplish goals. [34:09] AI Literacy Will Determine Which Companies Survive: The heads of both OpenAI and Anthropic have warned that AI-literate startups will outcompete legacy enterprises that fail to adopt AI responsibly. The risk isn't just falling behind — it's being replaced entirely. Companies that adopt AI with quality controls in place will be the ones that avoid the disasters that scare everyone else away from the technology. Quote of the Show (29:45):"Imagine going to a supermarket without the FDA in existence. Is that steak gonna be okay? That's what it's like deploying AI without quality control."— Matt O’Brien Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

Dan Klein, professor at UC Berkeley and CTO at Scaled Cognition, explains that AI systems generate answers based on patterns in language rather than verified knowledge. This makes them highly capable across many tasks, but also means they can produce confident answers even when they are not fully accurate. He introduces the “jagged frontier,” where AI performs very well in some areas and less reliably in others. Because responses are fluent and convincing, it is often hard to see where those limits are, which makes it important to stay engaged when using these systems. The conversation also explores hallucinations as a natural part of generative systems. In some cases, this is what makes them valuable, especially for creative or open-ended tasks, while in other cases reliability becomes more important. Finally, Dan highlights that working effectively with AI is a skill. As more people start using these systems in their daily work, knowing how to guide them, evaluate outputs, and apply them in the right contexts becomes increasingly important. He also shares how his team at Scaled Cognition is tackling this challenge by building AI systems with fundamentally different architectures, focused on determinism and reliability — aiming to ensure systems follow rules, reflect underlying data accurately, and behave predictably in high-stakes, policy-driven use cases. Key Takeaways: AI is designed to sound right, not to know it's right Models generate fluent answers without knowing whether they are correct, which means users need to actively evaluate outputs You have to learn where AI works and where it doesn't Capabilities are uneven, and understanding those limits is key to using AI effectively Working with AI shifts your role from creator to editor Instead of starting from scratch, you are reviewing, refining, and validating what the model produces Most people are using AI without knowing how to manage it Skills like delegation, verification, and judgment are becoming essential, but are not widely taught Dan's LinkedIn: linkedin/dan-klein/ Scaled Cognition Website: scaledcognition.com Scaled Cognition LinkedIn: linkedin/company/scaledcognition/ Scaled Cognition X: x.com/ScaledCognition 00:00 Intro: Fluency vs Truth00:34 Meet Dan Klein02:53 Why Fluency Misleads05:11 How LLMs Guess07:30 What Is Hallucination08:54 Deception and Alignment11:22 Why Agents Break12:48 Chaining and Determinism16:01 When Hallucination Helps22:33 Beyond Scale for Reliability30:40 Synthetic Data Training31:10 Enterprise Agent Use Cases33:44 Healthcare Risks39:13 Enterprise Literacy Gap41:27 Delegation and AI Management54:37 The Debrief

In this special episode of In AI We Trust?, Miriam Vogel sits down with Deborah Quazzo, Managing Partner of GSV Ventures and co-founder of ASU+GSV Summit, one of the most influential gatherings at the intersection of education and innovation. Recorded as the Summit unfolds, Quazzo offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at how ASU+GSV has grown into a "multi-dimensional marketplace" — one that puts philanthropists, commercial investors, K-12 superintendents, and university presidents in the same room to tackle education's biggest challenges together. She makes a compelling case for AI's potential to create personalized learning pathways, close persistent skills gaps, and drive students toward mastery at scale — and why getting the governance right is what makes all of it possible.

Despite billions being spent on AI tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot and Google Workspace, most employees still aren't ready to use them effectively: and it's becoming a productivity problem.In this interview, JP Gownder, VP and Principal Analyst at Forrester, breaks down the findings from Forrester's second AIQ report: "AIQ 2.0: Employees (Still) Aren't Ready To Succeed With Workforce AI."JP explains what AIQ, the AI Quotient, actually measures, why the numbers have barely moved year-on-year, and why the gap between AI deployment and employee readiness is actively hurting organisations rather than just slowing them down.Key topics covered:

The conversation this week highlights new "AI assistant" features from Microsoft and Google that aim to handle administrative burdens, allowing nonprofit teams to focus on mission-critical work.

Today I want to give you a peek into the huge topic of “building AI literacy.” We work with hundreds of companies and vendors that offer many types of training so I wanted to give you an overview. This is a fast-changing topic because there's a raging debate about what “skills” AI users need (ie. complex thinking? business acumen?). I do know AI learns from language so if you can't put your needs or wishes into logical statements, you won't get the most out of AI. But, as I explain, there are a range of other issues as well. I also discuss how we teach people about bias, risk, auditability, data quality, tuning, and how “vibe coding” is a bit more complex than you think. If you're really stumped about how to use AI in your work, I urge you to get Galileo, our AI Agent specifically designed for HR, business leaders, and human capital consultants. It includes 400+ reusable workflows to get you started and an entire library of 700+ courses on various AI and HR topics. We have received a spectacular group of AI Pacesetter applications and many explain how a particular company built AI literacy in detail.

Learn why scaling AI is as much a human challenge as it is a technological one. Stefano Puntoni, Co-Director of Wharton Human-AI Research and Professor at The Wharton School, examines the limits of data-driven decision making in the age of AI and why insights so often fail to translate into action. He breaks down the psychology behind AI resistance and outlines the leadership and change management strategies needed to turn AI potential into real organizational impact. Key Moments: Why More Data Doesn't Lead to Better Decisions (02:26): Stefano challenges the assumption that smarter algorithms automatically produce smarter decisions. He argues that decision quality depends on rigorous conceptual thinking before turning to data. Without clearly defining objectives, alternatives, and success criteria, analytics efforts rarely translate into meaningful action. Conversational AI and the Lowering of the Cost of Action (07:26): Stefano explains how conversational AI brings decision makers closer to data by reducing friction. By lowering the cost of experimentation, AI enables managers to test hypotheses in real time instead of waiting days for analysis. This shift moves organizations from analysis paralysis to faster, more confident action. Rethinking Your Role in the Age of AI (17:16): For professionals navigating disruption, Stefano outlines two paths forward. One is becoming a complement to AI by upskilling and using the technology as a productivity multiplier. The other is pivoting toward skills AI is less likely to replace, such as strategy, orchestration, and human judgment. The AWARE Framework: Pairing Technical Rollout with Human Rollout (22:41): Stefano introduces the AWARE framework to help leaders anticipate and manage the human reactions to AI transformation. He argues that every technical implementation must be matched with structured communication, identity support, and organizational alignment. Without this dual-track approach, even well-designed AI systems can fail to gain traction. Change Management, AI Literacy, and the Gap in Organizational Readiness (31:11): Only a small percentage of organizations have formal AI change management programs. Stefano questions whether companies are truly prepared for large-scale AI transformation. He emphasizes that AI literacy, leadership accountability, and structured change management will determine whether AI investments translate into sustained performance. Key Quotes: “ The leaders need to know why we are doing AI. AI is not a strategy; AI is just a tool. So what is it that we're trying to achieve?” - Stefano Puntoni “ I think the problem is that technology is almost like taking all the oxygen from the room. There's so much attention and urgency around the tech itself that we often forget the people around it.” - Stefano Puntoni “You don't want to be the substitute to the technology because if that is what you do, then there's no future. But if you're a complement, the technology might be a multiplier of your productivity.” - Stefano Puntoni Mentions Decision-Driven Analytics: Leveraging Human Intelligence to Unlock the Power of Data The Wall Street Journal: The Boss Has a Message: Use AI or You're Fired 2025 Report Accountable Acceleration: Gen AI Fast-Tracks Into the Enterprise How AI Affects Our Sense of Self Why Gen AI Feels So Threatening to Workers Conversational AI: The Next Frontier of Digital Platform Monetization Guest Bio  Stefano Puntoni is the Sebastian S. Kresge Professor of Marketing at The Wharton School. Prior to joining Penn, Stefano was a professor of marketing and head of department at the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University, in the Netherlands.
