AI, Algorithmic Influence, and Learning in a Digital World | with Laura Knight
AI is changing how knowledge is accessed, shaped, and trusted—but it isn’t neutral.
In this episode of Beyond the Algorithm, Dawn speaks with Laura Knight—former teacher, strategist, and advisor—about the growing influence of algorithms on learning, behaviour, and decision-making.
They explore what sits beneath the surface of AI systems, why they don’t “find truth,” and how attention, data, and engagement are shaping the digital environments young people are growing up in.
This conversation moves beyond hype and fear to focus on what actually matters:
From social media to generative AI, this episode challenges the idea that technology is simply a tool—and argues that without deliberate teaching, it can quietly shape thinking in ways we don’t always see.
Guest
Laura Knight is a former teacher with over 20 years’ experience in UK education. She now works across schools, universities, governments, and EdTech organisations as a strategist, speaker, and advisor, focusing on the effective and ethical use of AI and digital technology.
