In this episode, we discuss how artificial intelligence is impacting school libraries and education. We were delighted to be joined by Jason Gulya, an AI consultant and professor with a unique perspective on AI's role in educational settings. Jason shares his intriguing journey with AI, from initial scepticism to a balanced viewpoint that acknowledges both the potential and pitfalls of AI in schools.

The discussion explores how AI is reshaping the educational landscape, the importance of foundational skills, and the critical role of school libraries in fostering information literacy. Jason emphasises the need for a nuanced approach, urging educators and librarians to be proactive in shaping AI's integration into learning environments. The conversation also highlights the significance of human interaction and critical thinking, reminding us that technology is not a replacement for these essential elements of education.
