AI predictions for 2024
We scoured the internet to find all the AI related predictions for 2024 (at least from people that might know what they are talking about), and, in this episode, we talk about some of the common themes. We also take a moment to look back at 2023 commenting with some distance on a crazy AI year.

Hi Guys. I’m relatively new to listening to your podcast every week, but I have been listening to different AI podcasts for about 8 months now. (new to the game, I know). I have heard from other podcasts about the lack of policy on AI in corporate America, but also specifically in the education world. When I heard Chris call his child’s teacher “dumb” for not allowing students to access AI tools, it almost broke my heart. Please check on the school policy before calling a teacher dumb. I’m sorry if you didn’t have good experiences with teachers, but most of them are very hard workers and are often bullied by outsiders. It’s hurtful to hear such an insightful and thought-provoking podcast call educators dumb. In all the wisdom I’ve heard you two speak about, it would be great to have you all deliver a draft policy proposal to help the districts out. Thank you.

I am very thankful to receive your feedback, and feel terrible for my flippant comment. I sincerely apologize to our audience - and to teachers or others whom I may have offended - through the use of the word “dumb” in reference to teachers and/or schools disallowing students the use of modern AI tools in their studies. “Dumb” is not at all how I feel about teachers, and my trademark intentional irreverence went a step too far with that comment. Please accept my genuine heartfelt apology, and know that I am always supportive of those who want to improve education for our children. Since I don’t have the option of changing the audio of the published episode, I will make an apology at the beginning of an upcoming episode. I hope you will stick around to hear it, and give Practical AI a second chance. Thank you for caring enough to say something, because you made a difference in this case.
Sincerely,
Chris Benson
