In this episode of Azadeh and Guy on AI, we dive into two fascinating conversations. First, we unpack the crucial difference between AI and Generative AI, why the terms are often mixed up, what makes GenAI unique, and why it’s so important to be precise when we talk about these technologies. Then, we share insights from our new research study exploring how English Language Arts (ELA) teachers are using GenAI in their classrooms. From teachers’ ethical concerns to how AI can support culturally responsive teaching, we discuss what educators are learning, what’s holding them back, and how AI might actually help bridge cultural understanding if we use it thoughtfully.
