Most organizations are approaching AI backwards.

In this episode of AI in Action, Maurie and Jim break down what schools and businesses are getting wrong when they try to adopt AI—and why so many tools never deliver the value they promise.

From unclear problems to feature-driven purchases and flashy demos that don’t hold up in real environments, this conversation focuses on the practical side of AI implementation.

They also share how they’ve approached AI inside a real K12 district, including lessons learned from piloting tools, managing costs, and building adoption that actually sticks.

If you’re responsible for technology decisions, this episode will challenge how you think about AI—and give you a better way forward.
