Podcast Description
What changes for us, as writers, as creators, as thinkers – as humans – when there are more AI bots in the world than people? Telling stories about our lives and the world around us is one of the most intimate and powerful practices that we, as humans, have. And even though artificial intelligence has existed in some form for decades, only with the emergence of chatbots has AI become a storytelling machine. So what does AI mean for human literacy? What changes when algorithmic intelligence tells stories about ourselves and our world? Should we let it? And really, who is telling the story–and why? Join Dr. Jeremy Roschelle, the lead learning scientist at Digital Promise, and Betsy Corcoran, a journalist and founder of EdSurge, as they explore with writers, researchers, teachers and even policy makers the potential – both positive and negative – for AI, for literacy, and for us.

What do wizards have to do with Doritos or trout? In this wrap up episode to Season 2, Jeremy & Betsy talk about the metaphors and insights their guests shared this year to make sense of AI. Guests included researchers, writers, educators, builders & influencers: Ethan Mollick, Pat Yongpradit, Inge Molenaar, Erin Mote, Justin Reich, Melina Uncapher, Elvira Salazar, Margaret Honey, Mike Taubman and Babak Mostaghimi. And the theme running through it all: Sure, the technology is changing rapidly. But even more important: Our sense of when to use AI– and when not to use it–is morphing, too. Finally, Betsy & Jeremy hint at what they will explore when they kick off Season 3 this autumn. Got thoughts? Suggestions? Questions? Drop a note on LinkedIn.
