AI Giants Bet That Education Is About to Change
Notas do episódio
For colleges and schools, the relationship with major AI companies is complicated. Many are buying AI tools for their students, even as they strain to prevent harms to learning caused by these same tools.
For this episode of Learning Curve, we wanted to talk directly to folks at the frontier AI labs to hear their philosophy of how they see AI changing learning — and what they plan to do to prevent potential downsides to education. Jeff connected with OpenAI’s Brian Johnsrud, global head of education engagement, and Google’s Ben Gomes, who leads learning and sustainability there. It seems these companies are betting that education as we know it will change significantly in the next few years because of how AI is changing the workplace and society.
