The most inspiring story about the use of AI

Bloom AI is now free for educators. If you teach at a school, university, or education provider, you can now create a free Bloom Teaching Space and start exploring what AI looks like when it's designed to reinforce learning. You can even share your Bloom with up to 30 students. Educators need AI that help students understand and support productive struggle, rather than just generating answers. With Bloom, educators can: - Create AI learning support grounded on their own materials - Give students guided help with built-in pedagogical guardrails, not just answer generation - Get visibility into student questions, patterns, and understanding Sign up at bloom.study.

Nathan Ha and I won the Grand Prize (Track 3) in the EdTechnical AI in Education Forecasting Competition. Our forecast: by 2028, only ~2% of US high school students will spend >2 hours/day learning through AI-powered personalized systems. The constraint isn’t technology, it’s institutional adoption. We’ve published the full essay explaining our reasoning here: bloom.study/the-constraint…

Generic AI is harming student learning. One study from @Penn showed that it degraded student performance by 17%. So we built @BloomAITutor: AI that reinforces learning instead of bypassing it. If you want early access, reply and I'll DM you a code.

@garrytan From an education perspective, they can harm learning because they give answers too quickly and don't encourage curiosity. Social media analogy (imperfect): 15 years ago, you could have said "it's the future" and that kids need to learn early. But evidence of harm took years.

Can someone steel man this response for me? Anyone who has spent some time using any LLM or image gen would realize these things is like bicycles for the mind I respect people who would say they wouldn’t want their kids to do it, but IMO riding a bike earlier is better

@hitRECordJoe 100% agree. We're building safe, secure AI for learning at @BloomAITutor

I co-starred with Mark Zuckerberg in a new video.  Meta’s AI algorithms are designed to prey on kids. Highschoolers. 8-year-olds. As a dad, it makes me livid.

I just put up a new video on the fundamentals of quantum computing, building up to a step-by-step walk-through of something known as Grover’s algorithm. Here's an excerpt of a quiz used to introduce the topic.

💡The takeaway? Don’t match teaching to fixed “styles”. Let's focus on helping students be adaptive and find learning strategies which work best for their task, learning stage, and context.

Learning styles are a myth. A banger of a paper dropped a few days ago from John Hattie and Tim O’Leary looking at 2,500 meta analyses on learning styles.

We're excited to announce that Bloom AI, in collaboration with @UNSW, has secured a $480,000 Ignite grant from Australia's Economic Accelerator (AEA) to develop "SPARK: Sovereign Pedagogical AI for Reinforcing Knowledge."

We need AI that works with students, not just for them. ✍️ Students can collaborate with Bloom through the Canvas Interface. Informed by feedback best practices and aligned with your institution's curriculum, Bloom nudges and guides, but the student is always in control.

I thought I wouldn't live to see this day

Most AI tutors just give answers. Bloom AI Tutor does something different—it guides students to think critically.

nearly all takes I've seen on this website about deepseek are uneducated are wrong, some are useful
