We're kicking off a series on artificial intelligence (AI) in industries with a deep dive into AI in education.
Hengjie Wang, co-founder of ed-tech company Kami, joins us to explore how AI is transforming the classroom.
Wang explains how Kami currently uses AI to save teachers time and make education more accessible and engaging for students.
He also considers whether generative AI could be the foundation for a future of widely accessible, AI-driven learning aids.
Plus, Apple's latest products and upgrades.
The Business of Tech is sponsored by 2degrees for Business.
