Hey {{ first_name | human }},
I am knee deep in wedding preparations this half term, so here are some links to some podcasts where I have been thinking deeply about AI in schools with James.
TL;DR: The 60 Second briefing
⚡️AI in 2026: In this episode, James and I gave our predictions for what we might see appear in 2026 regarding AI and education.
🧪AI tutors in schools: In this pod, James and I discuss if AI tutors are a breakthrough waiting to happen or if they are only hype. Key takeaway is that the term AI tutor is not very helpful due to the range of how different interpretations and implementations of ‘AI tutors.’
🚨AI music and creativity: Does AI democratise music creation and creativity or does it simply bypass the efforts of musicians and other creative domains? We try to answer that question.
‘Till next week.
