April 21, 2026: Fighting AI in NYC's Schools & Fighting AI Data Centers in Upstate NY
Tuesday, 28 April, 2026
In the first segment, we talk to Leonie Haimson, executive director of Class Size Matters. She explains why a growing coalition of parents, students and educators are alarmed by the rapid rollout of AI tools in the classroom with the apparent blessing of Mayor Zohran Mamdani and are demanding a two-year moratorium on the expansion of AI in the schools to gain a better understanding of its impact on students. Our second guest, Sarah Howard is an environmental consultant for the Tonawanda Seneca Nation. She describes the growing resistance in upstate New York as the threat of the proposed Streams Data Center in Genesee County, NY would be the largest built in the state to date. Join us for an insightful discussion!
