What changes for us, as writers, as creators, as thinkers – as humans – when there are more AI bots in the world than people?


Telling stories about our lives and the world around us is one of the most intimate and powerful practices that we, as humans, have. And even though artificial intelligence has existed in some form for decades, only with the emergence of chatbots has AI become a storytelling machine.


So what does AI mean for human literacy? What changes when algorithmic intelligence tells stories about ourselves and our world? Should we let it? And really, who is telling the story–and why?


Join Dr. Jeremy Roschelle, the lead learning scientist at Digital Promise, and Betsy Corcoran, a journalist and founder of EdSurge, as they explore with writers, researchers, teachers and even policy makers the potential – both positive and negative – for AI, for literacy, and for us.

  • An Innovative Teacher Designs a 'Driver's License' for AI

    An Innovative Teacher Designs a 'Driver's License' for AI
    2026/05/19
    Do we – or don’t we? Teachers are both under pressure to press 'pause' on AI in the classroom and to prepare students for the future with AI. On this episode of Future Fluent, Jeremy and Betsy connect with Mike Taubman, a veteran teacher at Uncommon School in New Jersey to explore how he's bringing decades of hard-earned pedagogical insights to bear in guiding his students into AI usage. As a long-time English teacher and career advisor, nothing is more precious to Taubman than face time with students. But he also wants them to be able to go under the hood and understand the assumptions and mechanics of AI. His solution: To start building an “AI Driver’s License” for high school students. Taubman shares what's working--and what's under construction--along with why Newark's Mayor Ras J. Baraka recently stopped by Taubman's class. Spoiler alert: Taubman wasn't the one who invited him. LEARN MORE!Mike Taubman got his start as an English teacher–so, no surprise, you can follow his work by reading both what he writes and what he likes to read. Taubman writes frequent updates about his classes and other experiences on his Substack, AI Waypoints. (Browse here for details about the “AI Driver’s License” curriculum Mike and fellow teacher, Scott Kern are developing as well as Mike’s exchange with protesters at the 2026 ASU-GSV meeting.) The NYTimes wrote about the AI Driver’s License here. Check out this fabulous story about how two of Mike’s students convinced the Mayor of Newark, NJ, Ras J. Baraka, to visit their school and managed the whole visit. Here’s Mike’s description of the visit, too. Books recommended by Taubman include: The Lifecycle of Software Objects by Ted Chiang, a Hugo Award winning science fiction novella from 2010 that describes the “raising” of digital entities. It’s included in a compendium of Chiang’s work, Exhalation (2019). Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson, published in 2021, is a fav of both the NYT’s Ezra Klein and Barack Obama. In Search of Deeper Learning: The Quest to Remake the American High School, by Jal Mehta and Sarah Fine from 2019, is an overview of the state of US high schools. And of course, the 2013 movie, “Her,” by Spike Jonze. We also talked about this (meta) study from Stanford University on 800 academic papers on the relevance of AI for K-12 education. Finally, you can also watch this segment on NBC’s Future Education about Taubman’s colleague, teacher Scott Kern, who built chatbots to support his students. Hosted on Acast.

  • The Secret to Designing Powerful Learning Experiences

    The Secret to Designing Powerful Learning Experiences
    2026/04/20

    What’s been the most powerful learning experience that you've had? Dr. Margaret Honey has helped build remarkable learning experiences–starting with the television show, The Voyage of the Mimi, through her work at the New York Hall of Sciences and most recently with the Scratch Foundation. Through it all, she’s held fast to several principles, starting with: Never fake it. And center activity around children’s curiosity not around rubrics or assessments. In this episode, Margaret shares with Jeremy and Betsy the triumphs, challenges and hard-won lessons learned of building memorable experiential learning environments–along with what changes in an AI-saturated world. (And, we also learn why actor Ben Affleck knows so much about humpback whales!)


    LEARN MORE!


    • The Voyage of the Mimi (with Ben Affleck) was a 13-episode television program created in the mid 1980s. (Here’s episode 1.) A crew of the ship, Mimi, explored the ocean, to carry out a census of humpback whales. In The Second Voyage of the Mimi, archaeologists searched for a lost Mayan city.


    • Here’s a video short on the Connected Worlds exhibit at the New York Hall of Science. (Better: Check out the exhibit at the museum!)


    • Scratch, a free, nonprofit coding community and environment for children, is supported by the Scratch Foundation. (Start here if you’re considering a family membership; here if you’re an educator.)


    • Xperiential, a collaboration between Pixar and Khan Academy, is a project-based learning approach aimed at inspiring students to explore careers through storytelling and design.


    • Jeanne Bamberger’s 1995 book, The Mind behind the Musical Ear, explores how children develop “musical intelligence.”


    • Creative Acts for Curious People: How to Think, Create, and Lead in Unconventional Ways, by Sarah Stein Greenberg (2021) includes both stories and innovative exercises to build creative leadership.

  • When Good Intentions Aren’t Good Enough

    When Good Intentions Aren’t Good Enough
    2026/04/09

    History is chock full of new technologies developed with good intentions. But if we’ve learned anything over the past few decades, it’s that doing research and designing products has layers of complexity. It isn’t enough to just build tech for others – we have to build it in close partnership and community with those who will use it. In this episode of Future Fluent, Betsy and Jeremy talk with Dr. Elvira Salazar, a life-long educator, passionate devotee of STEM education and NASA, and now the Director of Online Learning & Technology for Latinos for Education. They’ll talk about what the AI community gets right – and gets wrong – in the rush to build the next great thing.


    Learn more!


    • To explore more of Dr. Salazar’s work, a great place to start is the Latinos for Education website.


    • She also contributed this piece, “Learnings from the Front Lines on Redefining Leadership for the Age of AI,” to EdSurge.


    • Dr. Salazar described the work of CLEAR, or the Center for Leadership Equity and Research. You can explore the groups work as well as its AI initiative at Clearvoz.com


    • This story, “AI Leaves Some Students Lost in Translation,” explores in more detail some of the promise and challenges of AI development for the Latino community. (You can also try out the Playlab app developed by the group, “Elevating your Speaking,” a tool that parents can use to support their students’ language development skills, here.)


    • Stanford University professor, Dr. Sanmi Koyejo, discusses his white paper about how AI is leaving non-English speakers behind here. The full report from Dr. Koyejo and his team is here: “Mind the (Language) Gap: Mapping the Challenges of LLM Development in Low-Resource Language Contexts.”
