Hello Friend,

How are you? I hope you’re well!

I just recorded a podcast episode with an educator using AI that will come out in a few weeks. It made me think, for the many issues around AI, how can we really solve them if we don’t have good education?

What do you think?

This week, I published episode 7 of my podcast interview series with Sarah Tan you’ll find details and links to this below.

My article this week looks at how AI can help with personal tutoring.

Finally, my ongoing invite for podcast collaborators

I’m really pleased to have published episode 7 this week.

Next week, you’ll meet my episode 8 guest John from the UK.

Would you like to be a guest in a future episode?

I’m not looking for AI experts (thats me!) I am looking for people from different walks of life and professions, who have been thinking about AI could impact their profession, society or personal life in some way.

If this might be you, I’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas, please feel free to direct message me using the button below.

Have a good week,

Take care,

Pranath

Advances in large language models and AI tutoring systems like Khanmigo are making it possible to receive the educational equivalent of having Aristotle as your private tutor.
