ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode of The AI Educator, Andrea Claver from EDSAFE AI speaks with Anne-Sophie Seret, Executive Director of Everyone AI and Chief Program Officer at iRAISE. Anne-Sophie explores how AI can level the global playing field by providing tutoring to children in developing countries and tailoring education for those with learning disabilities, ensuring that a child's potential is no longer limited by their zip code. She challenges common misconceptions about safety, warning that an EdTech tool is not automatically secure just because it is used at school or popular in other districts.
Anne-Sophie highlights the hidden risks of anthropomorphic design, where AI models pretend to be human and foster dangerous emotional dependence in children. She critiques the industry’s reliance on engagement as a flawed KPI for actual learning. She also suggests reinventing the classroom by shifting the focus from final results, like essays and exams, to the value of the learning process itself. Finally, she shares an exclusive look at new tools for evaluating AI models and celebrates that the discussion about the impact of AI on cognitive and socio-emotional development has reached the global stage of the G7 agenda.
