Just before the last election I made a public Confession: I don’t know who we are. Honestly, I don’t have a clue… Do you? We grew up believing that we are the noble superheroes of the civilized world. The great role models and saviors of anything you can fix with a sermon or an 18-minute TED Talk. But now, I can barely recognize many of my neighbors, colleagues, friends, and even family members. Can you?

They’re back. The creators of TPACK, SAMR, Triple E, SETI, and Gen AI-U have teamed up to co-host a podcast on the rapidly evolving developments of generative AI in education — and beyond. The podcast is called AIR|GPT, and the discussions take place in virtual airport lounges. Why? Because finding a time and place for this globetrotting cohort to meet is the podcast’s biggest challenge.

It’s been one surprise after another for 11 months straight. Now, we’re less than a week away from releasing the documentary Blindsided by AI: The Bigger Picture.
