AI is reshaping the classroom faster than our institutions can keep up, raising hard questions about what teaching is even for. Drawing on years in the classroom, Professor Amy Bruckman examines how teaching is already changing in the age of AI, and what the future of education might look like for students and educators alike. Amy Bruckman is Regents’ Professor in the School of Interactive
Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Her research focuses
on social computing, with interests in online collaboration, social
movements, and content moderation. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

One of the most obvious ways we see Technofeudalism in the classroom is through corporate influence in education through curricular materials and platforms."
