He provided several insights about his own perspective of AI in education, his hands-on experience with AI, and advanced tools he is experimenting with such as language models. The conversation further discussed some of the common misconceptions surrounding AI, while emphasizing its relevance to the educational sector. AI in education is playing a significant role in shaping many learning experiences, particularly for students like Shafkat who have sought alternative educational paths.
