About This Episode
Rethinking AI Literacy with Tricia Friedman
Pete and Stephanie sit down with Tricia Friedman to unpack what AI literacy should look like if we want students and educators to actually be ready for what is coming next.
Tricia introduces her REFRAME framework, explains the concept of futures literacy, and shares practical ways educators can shift from fear-based policies to curiosity-driven conversations.
From classroom assessment redesigns to conflict mediation bots and dolphin communication, this episode is about expanding how we think, not just automating what we already do.
