Video Description
I honestly don’t know how I should be educating my kids. A.I. has raised a lot of questions for schools. Teachers have had to adapt to the most ingenious cheating technology ever devised. But for me, the deeper question is: What should schools be teaching at all? A.I. is going to make the future look very different. How do you prepare kids for a world you can’t predict? And if we can offload more and more tasks to generative A.I., what’s left for the human mind to do? Rebecca Winthrop is the director of the Center for Universal Education at the Brookings Institution. She is also an author, with Jenny Anderson, of “The Disengaged Teen: Helping Kids Learn Better, Feel Better, and Live Better.” We discuss how A.I. is transforming what it means to work and be educated, and how our use of A.I. could revive — or undermine — American schools. 0:00 Intro 3:03 The future of education? 11:20 Modes of engagement 17:27 Personalizing education 26:25 The case for A.I. in schools 35:09 Who gets left behind? 46:07 How A.I. can increase equity 49:35 Becoming more human 55:54 Willpower, literacy, and regulation 01:01:10 Advice for parents 01:05:20 Book recommendations Read the full transcript here: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/opinion/ezra-klein-podcast-rebecca-winthrop.html Watch more on @EzraKleinShow Thoughts?
