Mike Pearson and Pat Burns are joined by distinguished guests Jack Haynes, a linguist and EL professor, and Sarah Quirk, an English and writing professor. Together, they posit and offer answers to many of the big questions that LLMs and AI bring into the profession of Education:

• How do emotional reactions to AI in education, such as fear and concerns about plagiarism, impact the adoption and implementation of AI in teaching and learning?

• To what extent can AI mimic human creativity and sentience, and what are the implications of these limitations on AI-generated work in education?

• Can AI-generated work evoke profound humanistic responses, and how might this affect the future role of AI in education?

• How can educators and institutions leverage AI to facilitate deeper inquiry and promote the importance of meaningful questions in education?

• In what ways can institutional changes and rethinking the structure of required courses help motivate students to genuinely engage with their work, shifting the focus from gamification and chasing points towards nurturing genuine interest and passion in students?
