About this episode

The episode discusses how AI is reshaping education and the importance of human interaction in learning.

What and why should we still learn when AI can do so much for us? In this episode, Marcel and EPFL experts Patrick Jermann and Francesco Mondada explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping education, from coding and assessment to the very purpose of learning. Drawing on real experiments at EPFL, they reveal what AI gets right, where it falls short, and why true learning still requires effort, curiosity, and human interaction.
