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.

For generations, "reading, writing and 'rithmatic" have formed the boundaries of early childhood education. Now research shows there's a catalytic fourth "R": Relationships. In this episode of Future Fluent, Betsy Corcoran and Jeremy Roschelle speak with author Isabelle Hau who shares her findings on why relationship-focused learning should be at the core of curriculum and education. Her findings have deep implications for the role of AI-based tutors and companions. And Hau warns us about the dangers of "junk" technology.
