AI Sweden Podcast - What can we do with Generative AI in schools?

A while back Peter Kurzwelly got in touch and asked if I wanted to be a guest on their podcast. And of course I did. It turned into a really nice conversation and time just flew by. What did I say in the episode? Well, I tried to cram 25 years of digitalisation in the school world into it, but I gave Peter free rein to edit it however he wanted.

Generative AI in Schools: What we can do with Generative AI and how the technology is redefining learning - Micke Kring, Lifelong Learning, RISE

Shownotes from the episode:

“In this episode of “The AI Sweden Podcast” we welcome, in my view, a very exciting guest, Mikael “Micke” Kring, a pioneering force in educational technology and nowadays also generative AI.

Micke, whose work ranges from the classroom in Stockholm to the Lifelong Learning unit at RISE, has a strong impact on how we think about and use AI within the school world. With a background as a musician and an unrelenting curiosity for technology, Micke takes us on a journey through his professional development, from the first keys on a Commodore 64 to becoming something of a pioneer in the use of AI in education. By combining playfulness with pragmatism, Micke shows how we can make AI accessible and meaningful for everyone, and above all, how this revolutionary tool can inspire learning and creativity in school contexts. Tune in for an in-depth discussion about the future of education, where generative AI plays the lead role in shaping how we learn, teach, and think about knowledge transfer. This podcast is part of AI Sweden’s initiative to spread knowledge and understanding of AI and its role in today’s society.
