AI in Education

Lee Smith welcomes career educator and philosopher Jake Tawney for a thought-provoking discussion on one of the most consequential issues facing classrooms today: the rise of artificial intelligence in education. In Episode Fifty of Roots, Rights & Reason, Tawney challenges the conventional debate over AI by arguing that the most important questions are not about technology itself, but about what it means to be human, how students learn, and whether artificial intelligence is gradually replacing the very skills education is meant to cultivate. Throughout the conversation, Smith and Tawney explore the distinction between AI algorithms and conversational interfaces like ChatGPT, examining how these tools may shape human communication, critical thinking, and intellectual development. Tawney warns that technologies designed to automate reasoning inevitably risk diminishing the human capacities they replace, while also offering practical guidance for parents, educators, and policymakers seeking to navigate AI responsibly in the classroom. The episode presents a timely and philosophical examination of a rapidly evolving technology and its profound implications for the future of education, human formation, and society itself.
