How can AI reach the students who need it the most — especially in places where internet access, devices, or infrastructure are limited? One of the most inspiring aspects of Dr. Isotani’s work is the development of AI “Unplugged” learning approaches. Instead of assuming constant connectivity or advanced devices, his research explores ways students can still learn the concepts behind AI through activities, structured exercises, and low-tech educational tools.
What does responsible, inclusive AI in education actually look like across different national contexts? In this cross-hub dialogue, young leaders and practitioners from Chicago, Nairobi, Beijing, Dubai, and Lucerne come together to discuss what is working, what is breaking, and what should happen next as AI moves into education systems around the world.

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.

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.
