Generative AI is not like other education technologies, which schools often invite into the classroom. This one crashed the party. And then, it started re-arranging the furniture. We wanted to learn more, so in a little over a year, the Teaching Systems Lab has talked to over 90 teachers and 30 students about the impact of Generative AI. 

Some are excited about AI's potential to transform education for the better. 

Others are troubled by the temptations of a machine that can quickly and convincingly do many homework assignments. 

And some think AI is just a shiny object – a distraction from the much larger problems facing education.

Over the next seven episodes, we'll try to answer the question: Is AI a game-changing tool, a threat to critical thinking, another ed tech fad? … or something else?
