Can AI actually make tutoring better for students — or is it another ed-tech promise that won’t survive contact with a real classroom? Netflix co-founder and education philanthropist Reed Hastings and tutoring pioneer Michael Goldstein take opposite sides, with Bellwether’s Andrew Rotherham moderating. High-dosage tutoring is one of the few interventions with strong evidence behind it — and one of the hardest to scale and afford. AI promises to solve the cost problem. This conversation digs into whether it can, what gets lost when a human tutor becomes a chatbot, and what school and district leaders should actually do with the technology in front of them right now. The field is full of debates about technology and education, from how much screen time is too much to what roles artificial intelligence can — and can’t — play in learning. Here we zoom in on one potentially promising use case.
