I discuss AI in D&T education with insights from my recent chat with   Joanne Taylor. I explore in more depth the paper from the PATT 40 conference that probes the dual nature of AI as both a creative catalyst and a potential disruptor for future creativity. In this episode I take a deep dive into the use of AI for generating images from text and the implications of teaching such technology in schools.

Joanne's observations on Tuesday set the stage for an exploration of AI's role within the classroom and beyond, showcasing how it can serve as a design strategy on par with traditional methods like brainstorming. I'll share how AI is not just another tool but a  piece of conceptual knowledge.
