About the Episode:
In this special live episode from the AI Show at the ASU+GSV Summit, Dustin sits down with Alejandra Acosta—Chief of Staff at JK K-12 and a longtime higher ed veteran—to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping education. But here’s the twist: it’s not just about tech. It’s about grounding innovation in human connection, staying true to institutional values, and using AI to spark the kind of transformation higher ed actually needs.
From real talk on AI literacy to the future of school partnerships, Alejandra shares a balanced, insightful take on what matters most in the AI wave: people.
