Episode Details

Artificial intelligence chatbots in classrooms are raising concerns among education experts who warn they may be reducing students' critical thinking skills and potentially lowering test scores in some subjects. Former principal and Real Schools CEO Adam Voigt discusses the need to preserve schools as places where students learn to solve complex problems together through collaboration and human interaction, rather than outsourcing thinking to AI. While AI can reduce administrative burdens for teachers and provide accessibility for neurodiverse students, experts emphasise the importance of fostering slow, difficult thinking processes and maintaining human-centred learning for future workforce readiness.
