In this episode of Policy Changes Lives, hosts and ExcelinEd ‘s VP of Policy Cara Candal and ExcelinEd’s Policy Director of AI and Ed Tech Ji Soo Song sit down with education expert Michael B. Horn to explore what happens when young learners increasingly interact with educational technology and artificial intelligence. Together, they unpack the complicated questions surrounding screen time and AI exposure, examining how a student’s developmental stage, the content they encounter and the context in which technology is used can shape both its risks and its potential benefits.
The conversation also looks beyond simply asking whether students should spend more or less time on screens. Horn and our hosts discuss how educators and policymakers can ensure technology enhances learning rather than distracts from it, while addressing important concerns around student privacy, accountability and responsible use.
For policymakers, educators and parents navigating the rapidly changing role of AI in education, this episode offers a thoughtful look at how to embrace innovation while keeping student learning and well-being at the center.
