Podcast Description
What happens when AI crashes into the classroom?
When ChatGPT rolled out across the California State University (CSU) system, it sparked a wide range of faculty responses - from panic to full adoption. In My Robot Teacher, CSU professors Taiyo Inoue and Sarah Senk explore how generative AI is disrupting higher education, and what resistance, habituation, and adaptation really look like in real classrooms.
My Robot Teacher is a podcast about AI and higher education, hosted by public university professors, produced by editaudio, and sponsored by the California Learning Lab.

What happens when ChatGPT crashes into the classroom?
In this premiere episode of My Robot Teacher, Cal State University (CSU) professors Taiyo Inoue and Sarah Senk explore how faculty across public universities are reacting to the rise of generative AI in education. From panic to pedagogical adaptation, we dig into what resistance to AI really looks like – and why it often gives way to something stranger: habituation.
We talk about how large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT are reshaping teaching, trust, and the purpose of assignments themselves. This isn’t just about prompts. It’s about power, policy, and the future of public higher ed.
In this episode:
- We take Yale’s Ben Glaser on a ride in a Waymo driverless car
- Talk about UX, AI adaptation, and design thinking with Hana Zeydens (Chan Zuckerberg Initiative)
- Hear reflections from Cal Maritime faculty and leadership on how AI is already impacting them
