It may be a mistake to blame conservatives as a class for the reluctance to embrace the potential positive impact AI could have on education. In my experience, there are plenty of liberal educators that view AI as an existential threat to their careers. Furthermore, they don't seem interested in imagining a new paradigm not grounded in the obsolete 20th-century conventional education model.
