AI, friend or foe

 

 

As I reflect on the evolution of my career and the profound influences that have shaped it, I cannot help but marvel at the unexpected paths life often leads us down. From coaching basketball to working at Domino's Pizza, each experience has contributed to shaping my perspective and skill set in unique ways. Now, as I find myself immersed in the realm of education, I am struck by how artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing not just my field, but countless others, offering solutions to challenges we never imagined possible.

 

 AI, often portrayed as a harbinger of dystopian futures, is a powerful tool with transformative potential across various domains. Just as I learned the importance of motivation and inspiration on the basketball court, AI algorithms are now being deployed to personalize learning experiences, tailoring education to individual student needs and motivations. Imagine a classroom where each student receives customized lessons, ensuring that no one falls through the cracks and every individual can thrive.

 

 Similarly, my tenure at Domino's taught me the value of feedback and continual improvement. In the digital age, AI-driven analytics provide educators with invaluable insights into student progress and learning trends. By analyzing vast amounts of data, AI algorithms can identify areas where students may be struggling, allowing teachers to intervene proactively and provide targeted support. Just as Domino's slogan emphasized the importance of constant growth, AI empowers educators to adapt and refine their teaching strategies continually.

 

But most exciting is AI's potential to foster collaboration and community within educational institutions. Just as we seek a principal who can unite our school under a shared vision, AI platforms facilitate collaboration among teachers, administrators, and students, breaking down silos and fostering a culture of shared learning. Through online forums, virtual classrooms, and collaborative projects, AI technology transcends physical boundaries, connecting learners from diverse backgrounds and experiences.

 

 In a world where success is often equated with control and self-sufficiency, AI challenges us to embrace interdependence and collective growth. Just as Dr. Matthew Moser challenged societal notions of masculinity,
