In this episode of AI Academia, I tackle the nine biggest misconceptions teachers have about artificial intelligence. I’ve made this recording with two types of listeners in mind - teachers who are on the fence and are holding back from exploring AI because they have reservations, and early adopters who might benefit from better understanding the reluctance expressed by some of their colleagues to adopt AI tools. Thanks to all those in the LinkedIn community who made suggestions which have been included in this recording.
