I had the great joy and privilege of joining Michael Horn and Diane Tavenner for an episode of Class Disrupted. We explore AI’s transformative potential in education, particularly its ability to democratize access to expertise—shifting from just providing information to offering expert-level insights at near-zero cost. I discuss how AI can serve as a teaching assistant, tutor, and even a consultant for educators, while also weighing the risks, from amplifying biases to reshaping workforce skills. The conversation unpacks AI’s broader implications, from labor markets to education policy, and considers how schools might—or might not—adapt to these rapid changes.

Introducing the TechEnabled Podcast
I have a new podcast series at AEI called TechEnabled where I'm exploring not only the ways in which technology is enabling new models and systems, but also the way it provides deeper - and often real time - insights that can help us better understand the trends within our communities and the broader economy. We have great organizations lined up including Safe Graph, US Digital Response, CMU’s COVIDcast, Thumbtack, GovLabs, PolicyMap, EMSI, Burning Glass, and the Mobility Institute.
