AI Update for Educators 16th May

Kane from Teachers AI Cafe shares an AI update for educators, highlighting OpenAI adding Codex to the ChatGPT mobile app to make AI automation more portable, including voice use via CarPlay. He notes Microsoft Edge now embeds Copilot to interpret open tabs and help create study sessions, quizzes, writing support, and podcast-style summaries, plus new Copilot keyboard shortcuts rolling out across Microsoft 365 apps. He covers Anthropic and the Gates Foundation’s four-year $200M initiative for AI in health and education, including support for African languages and tools for teachers in sub-Saharan Africa and India, and Google Gemini’s personalized features in Australia that connect services like Gmail and YouTube for more context. He also discusses growing debate about AI, screens, and phone bans, and describes using Claude Cowork to sort 130,000 teaching files while hitting usage limits and struggling with Codex drive permissions.00:00 Welcome to Teachers AI Cafe00:23 This Week’s AI Update00:34 OpenAI Codex on Mobile01:35 Copilot Comes to Edge02:27 Microsoft 365 Copilot Shortcuts02:42 Anthropic and Gates Initiative03:52 Gemini Gets Personal Context04:23 AI in Schools Debate05:55 Sorting Files with AI07:30 Wrap Up and Next StepsSubscribe the the newsletter for podcast cheatsheetsFind the YouTube version of this hereGo to this Facebook group to access the cheatsheethttps://www.facebook.com/groups/learnaiforteachers/Email: [email protected] to you by: https://learnaiquickly.com/
