🎤 Live from FETC | The Fear Isn't AI. It's the Change AI Demands.

Guest: Jeff McCoy & Jennifer Ferrari

Host: Arvin Ross + Dr. Michelle Ament

Presented by: The Human Intelligence Movement

🔍 Episode Summary:

Everybody's talking about AI in education. Almost nobody's talking about why the people inside the system are afraid to move.

Jeff McCoy and Jennifer Ferrari from ERDI joined us at FETC 2026 for a conversation that got honest fast. These two have spent over a decade working with district leaders and solution providers, sitting at the intersection of what schools say they want and what they're actually willing to change.

Right now, the tension is real: we have the technology to personalize learning for the first time ever, and at the same exact moment, there's a growing push to pull screens out of schools entirely.

This one is for anyone who's felt the pull between what education could be and what it keeps choosing to stay.
