Featuring Amanda Bickerstaff, Founder and CEO of AI for Education
This week on Tech Can’t Save Us, host Paul David is joined by Amanda Bickerstaff, Founder and CEO of AI for Education. They discuss how Amanda is helping bridge the growing divide between schools that are embracing AI and those that are restricting it entirely.
Amanda, a former high school biology teacher, shares her journey from the classroom to founding a company that has partnered with more than 150 academic institutions since April 2023. The conversation explores common misconceptions about AI in education and Amanda’s hands-on approach to AI literacy training, which starts by addressing educator anxieties rather than jumping straight into the technology.
They also cover Amanda’s ambitious goal of supporting 1 million educators and the challenges of scaling from a first workshop in Queens to training thousands weekly.
