The Battle Over A.I. in the Classroom

With the school year ending, all over the country educators and parents are taking stock of the drastic shift caused by artificial intelligence in the classroom. Today, Natasha Singer, a technology reporter, discusses the year that reshaped American classrooms and how one dedicated teacher helped his students chart their own path into an uncertain future. Guest: Natasha Singer, a technology reporter for The New York Times. Background reading: Teachers say they want to equip high school students to drive A.I., rather than be mere passengers steered by chatbots. A.I. companies are urging teachers to prepare students for an “A.I.-driven future.” The American Federation of Teachers recommended “no screens” at all for those in second grade or younger, and no A.I. chatbots for students in elementary school.

How a Tuchel teamtalk inspired England's win over Croatia

England are up and running at the 2026 World Cup after defeating Croatia 4-2 in Dallas. Matt Forde is alongside comedian and England fan Chloe Petts, as well as 1998 World Cup winner Emmanuel Petit to reflect on England's win and how it sets them up for the rest of the group stage. There's high praise for Kane and Bellingham who were the standout performers on the night, although Petit has concern over Jordan Pickford though who he singles out as weak link in the England side. Elsewhere we get Petit's verdict on France after they eased past Senegal, we discuss the majesty of Messi and the misery of Ronaldo, and we ask what is the line between confidence and arrogance in the week the tournament's superstars announced themselves. And we pick our winners and losers from the last few days too!
