The future of K-12 education with AI (Alpha School’s Joe Liemandt) | Pioneers of AI

Educators around the world are wrangling with AI in learning. At Alpha School, a private K-12 school based in Texas, students use AI-driven software to complete core subjects in about two hours’ time. They spend the rest of the school day with guides for social-emotional learning, project-based work, and life skills. Joe Liemandt, longtime software developer and investor, serves as the principal of Alpha School. Dr. Rana el Kaliouby joined him on stage at this year’s @MastersofScale_ Summit, along with Alex Matthew, an Alpha School high schooler. They discuss what students need to be prepared for the future, and the challenges in scaling Alpha School’s model.
