About this episode

Is AI really transforming education, or are we misunderstanding its role?

In this thought-provoking podcast in the Math Talk Series, Makiri Pough shares a powerful perspective on Artificial Intelligence and how it should actually be used in education.

AI is often treated like something revolutionary or magical. But as Makiri Pough explains, AI is simply a tool — much like a calculator or a mobile phone. Its power depends entirely on how thoughtfully we use it.

Instead of using AI just because it is trending, we need to ask a much more important question:
What real problem are we trying to solve?

In this episode, Dr. Garima discusses:

• Why AI should not be romanticized
• The importance of using AI with clear intent
• How the future of education is shifting from speed to deep understanding
• Why success will be defined by thinking ability, flexibility, and confidence

According to her, the next generation will succeed not by answering quickly, but by thinking deeply and engaging with the world thoughtfully.
