We also learn about new research on AI in education from Dr. Min Sun, a professor at the University of Washington and Co-Founder of Colleague AI, whose team has recently conducted pilot studies with a group of educators and their students about the question of how teachers and students can leverage AI to classroom discourses to amplify human relationships and students’ critical thinking.
