Are we accidentally widening the educational equity gap by handing out AI tools too quickly?
In this episode of The International Classroom, Alex Gray sits down with Chris Loveday and Amelia King to explore the intersection of the operational backend and the cognitive classroom layer. They unpack why giving students an AI tool is only the second step in the digital equity journey, and why foundational training must come first to prevent students from offloading their critical thinking.
They also discuss the fascinating concept of "Red Teaming" AI in schools—from adults stress-testing bots for safeguarding risks (like asking an AI how to harm a tutor) to "metacognitive red teaming" where students inevitably try to get the AI to just do their homework for them.
Plus, find out why navigating AI in education feels a lot like being a contestant on Big Brother or Love is Blind.
