74. AI in Education: Risk, Responsibility, and Reality | Anthony Carabache Part I

In this episode, we’re joined by Anthony Carabache. He has worked on AI policy and has been part of important conversations around privacy, equity, and governance, helping educators make sense of both the opportunities and challenges AI brings to teaching and learning. Together, we explore what teachers really need to understand about AI, focusing on responsibility, awareness, and protecting both our role and our students’ well-being in a rapidly changing space.

☑️ What to Expect:

1. The Evolution of Technology and the Rise of AI
We reflect on the journey of educational technology over time and how quickly things have shifted. From early social media use to the rise of powerful AI tools, we look at how devices, data, and access have evolved, and what that means for us in the classroom today.

2. The Ethical and Invasive Aspects of AI
We dig into the reality that AI is not neutral. It is built on data, driven by prediction, and often designed for profit. We talk about why this matters for teachers, especially when tools claim to be safe but lack clear regulation, and how this can impact both us and our students.

3. Practical, Responsible Uses of AI in Education
Anthony shares ways AI can support learning without replacing what matters most. Simple tools like captioning and translation can enhance accessibility and engagement.

4. The Challenge of Reactive Policies and the Need for Proactive Action
We acknowledge that education systems are often reacting rather than leading when it comes to AI. This conversation highlights the importance of teachers staying informed, asking questions, and working together to push for clear guidelines, ethical use, and thoughtful implementation.

💧 Well Wishes: Stay grounded in what you already bring. Your thinking, your judgment, and your connection with students matter more than any tool. Remember that your voice plays an important role in shaping how we move forward.
