The Hidden Costs of AI in Education
EdSurge
EDITOR BRIEF
Two guests on This Week with EdSurge examine AI from different angles: one focuses on redesigning assignments so they are harder for AI to complete, and the other looks at the energy and budget costs behind school AI systems. The episode asks what an AI-first future really costs and who pays for it.
