About
How should education evolve in the age of AI? Long before AI became a mainstream public conversation, Josh was already working on bold experiments in learning, interdisciplinary education, problem-solving, and critical thinking. Even by today’s standards, his work remains strikingly ahead of its time, which makes it all the more remarkable that he began building in this direction nearly a decade ago. In this interview, we explore: what traditional education systems still struggle to do well why critical thinking and collaborative problem-solving matter more than ever how AI is changing the meaning of learning what kind of schools and learning environments may better prepare young people for the future This clip features the opening part of our conversation and offers a window into the thinking behind some of the most forward-looking experiments in modern education.
