In this enlightening episode of the AI Canvas podcast, host David Foster sits down with Francisco Recalde, Head of the Department of Languages at Dixon's Unity Academy, to delve into the transformative effects of AI on the educational landscape. 

They embark on a comprehensive discussion about the potential of AI to transform teaching and learning, the best use cases of AI in education, and the fear of AI replacing teachers. 

David and Francisco examine the intricacies of evaluating performance and achievement within an AI-enhanced education system and explore the idea of AI as a companion and guide for students, helping them bridge the gap between their current understanding and the desired level of knowledge. 

They also discuss the importance of controlled and constructive use of AI in education, rather than simply relying on AI to complete tasks for students and the psychological impact of AI on students.

Tune in to this episode for a deep dive into the synergy of artificial intelligence and education, and learn how it is shaping the future of learning.
