Aaron Makelky joins Jethro Jones to unpack OpenAI’s Codex event, AI power-user workflows, the Codex vs. Claude conversation, and why the biggest opportunity may be helping everyday people bridge the AI gap.

Hosted by educator and researcher Eli Davis, Artificial Intelligence: Real Talk cuts through the hype to explore how these tools are actually being used in schools. This isn't a theoretical discussion about the future; it's grounded in the present reality of classrooms. Each episode features conversations with the teachers, specialists, and leaders who are integrating AI into their daily practice. You'll hear honest stories about what works, what doesn't, and the nuanced challenges that come with new technology. The focus is on practical application-how AI can serve as a collaborative thought partner to enhance teaching, not replace it. Davis guides discussions toward critical questions of equity, bias, and accessibility, ensuring the dialogue centers on improving outcomes for every student. This podcast provides a necessary space for educators to share their on-the-ground experiences, offering listeners a clearer understanding of both the potential and the pitfalls. It’s for anyone in the field of education who wants to move beyond fear or fascination toward a more informed and intentional use of artificial intelligence. You'll gain actionable insights and a more balanced perspective from people who are navigating this landscape right now.
