Episode 47: Centering Humanity in the Age of AI—Connection, Curiosity, and Courage (with Michelle Culver)

In this episode, Dr. Katie Martin speaks with Michelle Culver, founder of The Rithm Project and longtime education leader, about what it means to stay human in an age shaped by artificial intelligence. Rooted in her experiences as a parent, educator, and leader, Michelle reflects on what it means to navigate the evolving relationship between human connection and technology—and how we might imagine and design the futures we want to create.

Together, Katie and Michelle explore how educators, parents, and young people can engage in meaningful dialogue about AI, build trust across generations, and reclaim schools as spaces for authentic human connection and belonging.
