Additional Information
“It is so rare to find a book on AI in education that is neither uncritically enthusiastic nor completely resistant, but one that makes space for readers who have diverse value systems and philosophies of education, and then attempts to offer support with AI to teachers and students across this spectrum of beliefs.”
“AI is moving much faster than the education sector, making it hard for an author to provide advice that will withstand the test of the next five years’ worth of technological progress. Yet Bialik and Nilsson have achieved this tour de force, with a book full of timely, critical, and enduring advice for teachers, using language that is most accessible and engaging. I have dog-eared numerous pages for my own edification and use, and I am positive teachers will do the same. In an age where attention is the key currency, this book is a highly recommended use of that scarce resource.”
“Maya Bialik and Peter Nilsson present a thoughtful and balanced perspective on AI in education today, while acknowledging the uncertainties of tomorrow . . . and the days thereafter.”
“Irreplaceable captures the rapid shifts driven by AI and provides practical, easy-to-apply guidance for navigating them. The tips, tables, and ideas spark fresh thinking about how AI can meaningfully shape the future of education.”
