Author: aiandyou January 19, 2026 Duration: 35:09
This and all episodes at: https://aiandyou.net/ . After last week’s exploration of AI in secondary education it’s time to look at how it’s landing in the universities, and so I am talking with José Antonio Bowen and C. Edward Watson, authors of the brand new book Teaching with AI: A Practical Guide to a New Era of Human Learning. José leads the Bowen Innovation Group, consulting on innovation in higher education and was the 11th president of Goucher College. He has held leadership roles at Stanford, the University of Southampton, Georgetown, Miami University, and Southern Methodist University, and his influential book Teaching Naked reshaped conversations about technology and pedagogy. He edited the Cambridge Companion to Conducting, and is an international jazz pianist. C. Edward Watson - Eddie on our show - is Vice President for Digital Innovation at the American Association of Colleges and Universities and is the Founding Director of their Institute on AI, Pedagogy, and the Curriculum. He directed the Center for Teaching and Learning at the University of Georgia, and is a Fellow of the Louise McBee Institute of Higher Education. We talk about how students and teachers are reacting to AI, threats to jobs – particularly teaching jobs – and changes to how we work, what really matters in the practice of teaching in an AI world, cheating, changes to relationships between teachers and students and the importance of caring. All this plus our usual look at today's AI headlines! Transcript and URLs referenced at HumanCusp Blog.        

The conversation around artificial intelligence is often filled with either breathless hype or dire warnings, leaving little room for grounded, practical understanding. Artificial Intelligence and You cuts through that noise. This isn't a lecture series from a distant ivory tower; it's a guided exploration meant for anyone curious about how these tools are reshaping the everyday. Each episode takes a focused look at a single facet of AI, from the algorithms curating your social media feed to the software that might change how you work. We break down complex concepts into clear, relatable terms, asking the questions that actually matter for your decisions and your future. You'll hear straightforward explanations of how different AI systems function, alongside thoughtful discussions about their real-world implications-the ethical dilemmas, the economic shifts, and the personal impacts that rarely make the headlines. The goal of this podcast is to replace confusion with clarity and anxiety with informed perspective. Whether you're a professional navigating new tools, a student planning a career, or simply a person living in an increasingly digital world, these conversations provide the context you need to form your own opinions. Join us as we move beyond the abstract to examine what AI genuinely means for your life, your community, and the kind of world we're all building together, one line of code at a time.
