Can AI Innovators Solve the Trust Problem AI Is Creating?
About this episode
This episode explores the trust issues surrounding AI in education and the gap between innovators and stakeholders.
The conversation around AI in education is changing fast, and the latest GSV Learning and Earning Forecast now identifies trust as the factor that will determine the near-term future of AI in the classroom. In this episode, we explore the “AI trust gap” forming between the people racing to expand AI in schools and the educators, parents, and students who are starting to push back. Through discussions with educators, school leaders, learning science researchers, analysts, ed tech developers, AI vendors, and non-profits across the community, we zoom in on the hard questions surrounding AI’s future in education. What happens when innovation starts moving faster than trust? What is required to bridge the gap? Who is working on solutions? What’s working?
