<p>What does it look like to prepare the next generation for AI without teaching them to outsource their thinking?</p><p>Kathryn Good sits down with Vicki Davis, educator and creator of Cool Cat Teacher, for a thoughtful conversation about AI, education, integrity, and staying human in a rapidly changing world.</p><p>Vicki uses AI in her own classroom, but believes responsible use requires more than knowing how to prompt a chatbot. Students need to understand how these tools work, where they fall short, and when AI begins replacing the learning it should support.</p><p>Kathryn and Vicki discuss AI-assisted cheating, unreliable AI detectors, AI bias, the danger of treating AI like a person, and why parents and educators should bring students into conversations about ethical AI rather than simply banning it.</p><p>Ultimately, this episode is about something bigger than technology: raising people with the critical thinking, character, relationships, and integrity to navigate an AI-powered world.</p><p>As Vicki says, <strong>“Your strength is being a great human being.”</strong></p><p>I think this is a better length for Apple.
