In this episode, Owen and Libby chat about AI tutoring with guests, Ben Kornell, Managing Partner at Common Sense Growth Fund, and Alex Sarlin, a veteran in the edtech industry and founder of Edtech Insiders.

Ben and Alex differentiate between AI-powered search and true AI tutoring, and discuss trends like AI-enhanced human tutors, hybrid models, and fully autonomous AI bots. The conversation highlights the need for AI to integrate- and learn from traditional education in developing key elements, such as targeting the right zone of proximal development. Human tutors have the ability to sense motivation and frustration, helping students through the more challenging parts of learning. Emerging technologies are now using facial and physical cues to gauge engagement, proving valuable as nudges for AI tutors or human instructors to boost motivation or adjust level of content.

They also address ethical and political risks, such as biased responses and dependency issues. With exciting developments on the horizon, the episode explores the at times seemingly sci-fi-like future of AI tutoring!
