Live at the AI Show: Building the Next-Gen AI-Enhanced College Textbook at UCLA


Listen Later

What does it look like when faculty lead the charge in building AI-powered learning tools—without losing their human-centered roots? In this live episode from the AI Show at the ASU+GSV Summit, Dustin speaks with UCLA professor Dr. Zrinka Stahuljak and PhD candidate Elizabeth Landers about their work developing a first-of-its-kind AI-assisted, human-guided textbook for a large general education class.

But this isn’t about replacing faculty—it’s about freeing them up. Freeing up time for deeper conversations. For more feedback. For actual teaching. You’ll hear how they partnered with Kudu to build an integrated learning experience that enhances accessibility, strengthens writing instruction, and makes space for meaningful, student-centered engagement.
