Khushali Narechania: K-12 education in the age of AI

aiEDU Studios

How can K-12 education adapt to AI?
In this thought-provoking conversation, we sit down with aiEDU's Director of Learning (and former high school math teacher) Khushali Narechania to explore how AI can be leveraged to benefit students in the classroom.
Khushali shares how educators are navigating the tensions between embracing new technology and preserving authentic learning experiences.
"The age of the take-home essay is dead," but that doesn't diminish the importance of writing skills – instead, it shows how classroom time will become even more valuable as a space where students can be taught skills that AI can't replicate. Similarly to how calculators transformed math education decades ago, Khushali discusses how AI may similarly shift our focus toward higher-order thinking and interpersonal skills.
Whether you're a teacher wondering how to adapt your assignments or a parent concerned about your child's education, this conversation offers valuable insights into preparing students for an AI-powered future where human connection may be their greatest advantage.
