AI and Education: Inside the AI Solution Partnering with Denver Public Schools, w/ Dr. Michael Everest

Could AI actually improve public education? Not just automate it, but make it more personalized, more equitable — and even more human?We explore this possibility with Dr. Michael Everest, founder of edYOU, an AI tutoring platform being piloted in a Denver-area school district. While many worry that AI could become a shortcut for students to avoid real learning, Everest argues the opposite — that AI can reinforce understanding, boost confidence, and offer 24/7 support tailored to each student’s needs.In this episode of AI-Curious, we dig into the real-world mechanics of how this works — including partnerships with schools, how teachers interact with the platform, and what kind of results they’re seeing so far.We also ask the tough questions: What about data privacy? What about bias and hallucinations? Is there a risk we’re outsourcing critical thinking? And what does the future of education look like if every student has a lifelong AI companion?Topics include:The promise and pitfalls of AI in classroomsedYOU’s pilot program with Adams 14 School DistrictHow the AI tutoring platform personalizes learningThe role of teachers in an AI-enhanced education systemOversight, privacy, and academic integrityThe vision of a lifelong AI learning companionWhether you’re a parent, educator, technologist, or just curious about where education is headed, this conversation offers a grounded, hopeful — and at times provocative — look at the future of learning.
