Utilizing EdTech and AI for Early Education featuring Diana Hughes and Sunil Gunderia

Host Mike Palmer concludes our coverage of the ASU+GSV Summit with two shorter conversations recorded in San Diego with Diana Hughes and Sunil Gunderia from Age of Learning, the company behind educational products like ABCmouse and the classroom offerings MyMathAcademy and MyReadingAcademy.

First, we delve into Diana’s background designing empathetic video games and how that translates to creating engaging educational experiences. She shares insights into blending AI with human instruction, viewing AI as a tool to enhance rather than replace teachers. Think cyborgs, not robots.

Next, we join Mike’s hallway chat with Sunil Gunderia, Age of Learning’s Chief Innovation Officer. Sunil reflects on trends from the AIR summit preceding ASU+GSV, such as major school districts embracing AI to promote equitable learning. He discusses how Age of Learning collaborates with companies like OpenAI to improve content creation while focusing on effectiveness.

The episode explores AI’s potential to personalize learning on a large scale and gather data to guide instruction. Both guests stress the importance of integrating technology with behavioral science principles to develop learner identity alongside academic skills. As we navigate through this transformative period, collaboration is key to ensuring that AI benefits all students.
