Banning AI? Listening to the Big and Small Voices Reshaping the Future of AI in Education
Thursday, 1 October, 2026
The back-to-school decision by the New York City Schools to place a moratorium AI, followed by an outright ban on AI by the Los Angeles Unified School District sparked a national conversation about the future of AI in schools. The loud voices for an against masked the nuance in the noise. But conversations with over 100 teachers, school leaders, researchers, professors, technologists, and ed tech insiders signal that a massive course correction may be happening in real time. This episode shares some of the most compelling voice and nuanced thinkers we talked with across the education community, whose insights and influence may shape the road ahead for AI in education. The conversation also explores a growing adoption gap between the United States and international rivals like China, where AI integration is more systematic. Ultimately, the discussion questions whether these policies effectively rebuild trust or simply leave students unprepared for a rapidly evolving technological future.
