The art of the interview with Andrew Ross Sorkin

There's a lot of concern that AI could interfere with how kids learn and develop. But what happens when we actually ask students how they want to use these tools? There's an opportunity to help young people build self-awareness around AI and learn to use it in ways that empower rather than undermine them. The narrative out there is that they cheat, but what you actually see is that so many students, when they learn how to use it, are looking at sort of problems in the world that they want to solve and building solutions and not waiting for permission.

They're just building. That was VP and general manager of education at OpenAI, Leah Belski, who joined me, Molly Graham, on my podcast WorkLife to address how we can find solutions to real valid concerns around AI's widespread implementation in education. What do we want humans to be able to do in a world where Intelligence is infinitely accessible. Listen to work life anywhere you get your podcasts.

I always say you can never actually blame the guest. You are like an animal trainer. It is your job to make the elephant dance, and you can never blame the elephant, and that is the responsibility of the host. Hey everyone, it's Adam Grant.
