Can AI Really Replace Teachers?

Is AI the future of personalized learning, or are we falling for Silicon Valley hype? In this episode, Azadeh and Guy dig into two high-profile AI education experiments: Alpha Schools, which promise accelerated learning in just two hours a day, and Khanmigo, Khan Academy's AI tutoring chatbot. They trace the roots of the AI tutoring promise back to Benjamin Bloom's two-sigma problem and scrutinize whether the evidence holds up. From student surveillance to teacher burnout, they unpack why AI integration in education is harder than it looks, and why human teachers aren't going anywhere. Tune in for an honest, research-grounded take on AI in education.
