238 | Ethical EdTech: Is AI in Education Moving Too Fast? ft Priten Soundar-Shah

Priten Soundar-Shah is back on the HiTech Podcast for the first time since episode 133 — and the conversation picks up right where the world left off. After his first book, AI and the Future of Education, sparked a movement in classrooms everywhere, Priten found himself watching institutions sprint headfirst into AI adoption without stopping to ask the hard questions. His response? A new book: Ethical EdTech. Josh and Will dig into what an ethics framework for education technology actually looks like, why borrowing from bioethics might be the move, and how schools, vendors, and policymakers all share a seat at the table. From top-down policy failures to the real risks of leaving communities behind in the AI race, this one gets deep — and it's exactly the conversation the edtech space needs right now.📅 Ethical EdTech releases May 19th — pre-order now at ethicaledtech.org🌐Learn more about Priten at priten.orgHead over to our website at ⁠⁠⁠hitechpod.us⁠⁠⁠ for all of our episode pages, social links, and ways to support us.Need a journal that's secure and reflective?
