What should be the role of AI in education? Cheating is an obvious concern. But can AI be used to accelerate, personalize, and even empower education? That's the path taken by All Star Code, a non-profit education organization that teaches tech and coding skills to young men of color. Danny Rojas is All Star Code's Executive Director. And he has been *extremely* forward-thinking in integrating AI into both the curriculum and the non-profit's workflow.We discuss:How AI can be used as a "co-pilot" for students (4:00); How they're thinking about the issue of AI and cheating (12:00); How AI can help teachers with lesson plans (15:00), How AI can help high school students in surprising ways (22:00); How AI can help scale the non-profit (27:00); Practical tips for more effective prompting (35:15); What's exciting about AI trends in education in the future (43:30).All Star Code:https://allstarcode.orgStay Connected:• 🐦 Twitter/Xhttps://x.com/jeffwilser• 💼 LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffwilser/• 🖥️ JeffWilser.comwww.JeffWilser.com🎧 Subscribe to AI-Curious:• Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ai-curious-with-jeff-wilser/id1703130308• Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/70a9Xbhu5XQ47YOgVTE44Q?si=c31e2c02d8b64f1b• YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@jeffwilser
