The notion of reimagining education alongside generative AI is no longer a simple sentiment but a necessity. Chris Agnew, Director of the Generative AI for Education Hub at Stanford Accelerator for Learning, joins Ray to outline three roles AI plays in higher education: efficiency, outcomes, and reimagining the classroom. Chris shares what his team has learned about AI’s ability to support educators and why most current tools miss the opportunity to deeply transform how students learn. He also addresses concerns around academic integrity and suggests how real change requires a reevaluation of long-held faculty practices.

Guest Bio: Chris Agnew is Director, Generative AI for Education Hub at Stanford University. As the Director, Chris is the principal organizing force in designing and implementing the new Generative AI in Education Hub - from concept to strategic planning to full implementation. Chris works closely with faculty and staff to build partnerships with education organizations and practitioners including schools, educators, policy makers, funders, NGO’s, and the edtech sector.
With over 25 years in education, Chris has taught and led both K12 schools and non traditional learning environments adjacent to K12 and post secondary. Committed to learning that is experiential, applied and relevant, Chris shifted to edtech to improve access and reduce cost of transformative learning models.
