Who Gets to Learn from AI? Equity, Access, and the New Digital Divide

A modern AI education has to wrestle with more than just new tools. It has to ask deeper questions, like how do we understand the models we’re building? Who trains them? And who actually gets access to the results? To explore those questions, Matthew Roberts is joined by Dr. Kiesha King , Head of Education Strategy, as they compare the classroom to the boardroom on technology readiness. With this in mind, they look at the ethics, equity, and access challenges of artificial intelligence, discussing the models that can both empower and exclude. And despite all the innovation, Dr. King makes it clear why the teacher still matters. Finally, they look at both the promise and the pressure of AI in education, taking a close look at over-reliance, protection laws, and the other checks that need to be in place. If you want to understand how people are really learning with AI, let this episode be your lesson.
