- Dan Meyer (Director of Research, Amplify) explores the difference between great AI and great teaching at ASU+GSV AIR Show.
Generative AI has received the most intense and sustained marketing campaign of any consumer product of our lifetimes. Yet usage in schools has underperformed expectations and the promised transformation for students and teachers seems far away. Let’s look at the expressed needs of students and teachers and think about how GAI does and doesn’t meet them, and what technologies might instead.

The point about offering students chatbots instead of what they actually need and want. Thank you!
Same for teachers!
Right on. Keep on fighting the good fight. "Education is inviting and developing."
Thank you so much for sharing this!
Spot on! I enjoyed every minute of your talk.
Fantastic presentation.
Love the talk! I agree with you.
There are no cheat codes in education!
Elimination of teacher bias.
I love your stuff. I disagree that Sam Altman is talented.
You very well may be a great math teacher, but you clearly do not understand the power of this technology. Your examples of AI use cases are some of the most narrow I've heard in education. I hope you are able to broaden your perspectives in the future... For the sake of your students. Good luck!
I'm a big fan of Dan's but this is frankly disappointing on many, many levels.
Ai requires a query exchange more sophisticated than what he illustrates here which looks like the most dumbed down lesson plan ever and this may be a garbage in/garbage out problem.
And teacher "happiness" is not an educational priority. Kahneman and many others have studied happiness and exhausted the theory without resolution. Teaching is and will continue to be a hard and challenging job not so much for lack of plans or material but because of the evolution of children and their relationship to technology and broad spectrum, high dosage information.
AI is just one aspect of the whole.
this still doesn't address why we have a product that doesn't or cant do what is needed of it then. even with a sophisticated exchange it cant feel or empathize like human. that right there is a downfall that cant be overcome with a thinking machine. and teacher happiness should be prioritized over ROI for investors as teachers along with almost anyone operate better on low stress levels.
@@tomtrainer883 With all due respect I think you are confusing AI with a word processor that writes a letter for you. Dan asked it for a lesson plan and acted as if what he really expected as output was a soup-to-nuts, instant teacher gratification kit that required no further thought whatsoever. Add some students (wetware), stir, and viola!
That's a silly expectation to begin with. First, a LLM needs to have a robust and comprehensive set of data from which to glean appropriate information AND the person doing the querying needs to provide a highly rigorous set of specifications for what that expected output will cover. Dan was more interested in creating this presentation than in creating and documenting a recipe for coming up with a useful teaching artifact.
AI is just months away from having mind-blowing capabilities that students will assimilate as native learning and that a majority of teachers and their consultants will piss and moan about - denial.
AI requires time, commitment, and a sense of direction that most people working full-time simply don't have. But kids do.
To be honest, why waste AI on a lesson plan to begin with? Why not ask it what most kids are interested in searching for having to do with math? And follow up by asking for teachable examples and work sheets and digital applications that reinforce that learning and a framework for follow-up, and...
Good luck with happiness that isn't expressed in a cash transaction.
Agreed. He makes some great points, but if the only thing you are doing with AI is using it with prompts like "make a lesson plan on x..." it will inevitably be a useless tool. There are a lot more ways to use it that can significantly benefit teachers that don't feel like "homework".
Elimination of teacher bias.
