AI Isn't the Problem... Losing Control Is

About this episode

The episode discusses AI anxiety and the importance of preparing learners for an AI-powered future.

AI is changing the way we think about work, education, and the future. In this episode, Maurie and Jim Beasley discuss AI anxiety, emerging AI technologies, human agency, and why students need more than memorization to succeed in an AI-powered world. From world models and JEPA to project-based learning and critical thinking, this conversation explores how we can prepare learners for a future where AI becomes a powerful tool rather than a replacement for human potential.
