Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping education, learning, and childhood development. In this episode of Jagged Edge, Yogi Patel sits down with educator, futurist, and author Sam Shapiro to explore the real impact of AI in education—and why the conversation must go beyond efficiency, tools, and jobs.

Together, they discuss how AI affects deep learning, creativity, critical thinking, and the human experience. Drawing from Montessori education, neuroscience, ethics, and school leadership, this conversation examines why struggle, curiosity, empathy, and hands-on learning remain essential in an AI-driven world.

This episode offers parents, educators, and leaders a grounded and hopeful framework for preparing children for the future—without losing what makes learning meaningful and human.
