Peter Relan | MathGPT, AI in Education, Equity in Math Education

In this episode of Learning Can’t Wait, host Hayley Spira-Bauer sits down with Peter Relan, chairman of MathGPT, to explore how AI-powered tools are transforming math education. Peter discusses how AI can alleviate the burden on educators by automating course management, generating assignments and quizzes, and providing Socratic-style tutoring that encourages critical thinking—without giving away answers.

They also dive into the broader impact of AI in the classroom, including its role in addressing equity gaps in community college math courses, improving student engagement, and supporting instructors with trustworthy, guardrail-protected AI. Peter shares insights on the importance of making math relevant to students’ lives and previews an upcoming Stanford research study on MathGPT’s outcomes.

Tune in to hear how AI is shaping the future of math education, why trust and efficacy matter, and how teachers can leverage technology to improve student success. Plus, a promise—Peter will be back to share real-world data on MathGPT’s effectiveness!
