My Robot Teacher
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.

AI can write code, and it writes it well. So what remains worth teaching? UC Berkeley computer scientist John DeNero joins Sarah and Taiyo to make the case for computational thinking — abstraction, decomposition, and the intuition that tells you when an output is wrong — as general education rather than vocational training. Along the way: why programmers get more out of AI coding tools than non-programmers, what an “AI agent” actually is, and why a CS degree is becoming less like a trade and more like a discipline.
