Getting smart about AI in education
AI doesn't need to be perfect to be useful. In this episode, Mary talks with Sid Abhinav and Behrang Mohajer about building educational tools that use AI not as a replacement for teachers, but as a support system. When used in the right context—with humans in the loop—imperfection becomes a learning opportunity, not a liability.
