Jeff Riley Day of AI CEO (and Former Massachusetts Education Commissioner) joins Nick Schutt to discuss how AI can transform education — and how we must avoid repeating the social media/cell phone mistakes.
We cover:
AI literacy as the fourth “R” — kids need to master it
Personalization: teach every student at their level (2nd grade to college)
Risks: AI companions, data privacy, mental health, over-reliance
Lessons from smartphones/social media → act now on policy
Day of AI: free training, curriculum, parent toolkits (dayai.org)
If you’re a parent, educator, or policymaker, this episode is essential for 2026.
