Welcome to the AI in Education podcast
With Dan Bowen from Microsoft Australia and Ray Fleming from InnovateGPT
It's a fortnightly chat about Artificial Intelligence in Education - what it is, how it works, and the different ways it is being used. It's not too serious, or too technical, and is intended to be a good conversation of background information.
Of course, as well as getting it here on the website, you can also just subscribe to your normal podcast service:
“This podcast is produced by a Microsoft Australia & New Zealand employee, alongside an employee from InnovateGPT. The views and opinions expressed on this podcast are our own.”
