My Robot Teacher Podcast, produced by California Learning Lab, examines the rapidly evolving role of artificial intelligence in education through conversations, storytelling, and expert insights. The podcast explores how AI is transforming the classroom—from instructional design and assessment to student engagement and institutional strategy.

Each episode brings together educators, researchers, and innovators to discuss both the opportunities and challenges of integrating AI into teaching and learning. Topics include ethical considerations, the future of faculty roles, student agency, equity in access to AI tools, and the broader societal implications of AI-driven education.

Rather than focusing only on tools, the podcast encourages deeper reflection on how educators can thoughtfully adopt AI to enhance learning while maintaining human-centered values. It serves as a resource for faculty, administrators, and anyone interested in understanding how AI will shape the next generation of education systems.
