"AI for Learning addresses important questions related to how AI will impact both teaching and learning in an educational context. This book could be used by all sorts of educators or those in educational policy. I would use this book for my AI and instructional communication graduate class." --Chad Edwards, Western Michigan University"This book is very timely, and there is a great need for it. Artificial intelligence has great potential to promote learning and empower teaching. But this potential will go largely unrealized unless learners, teachers, and parents understand it. AI for Learning clearly explains the potential benefits and risks of AI in education. It's an excellent model for how to take a complex technical subject and present it in a way that anyone can comprehend, without dumbing it down." --Dr. W. Lewis Johnson, co-founder, Alelo Inc.
