Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping education and the workforce, but at what cost? Without intentional policy and equitable implementation, existing racial and economic gaps could become more profound in an AI-driven world and change what and how students learn. This episode explores the pros and cons of AI in the classroom and the burgeoning digital divide among communities of color and low-income communities. It will also address students’ fears about job security and ensure that students from all backgrounds are not just consumers of AI but informed and ethical users.

Guest: Dr. Kevin Starks, K-12 education industry segment advisor, T-MOBILE and former principal
