AI Study Buddies, Compliance Cheaters, and the Rise of Corella
In this episode of the AI in Education Podcast, Ray and Dan dive into the latest news, tools, and research transforming education through AI. From ChatGPT’s agent and study modes to Google’s new Nano Banana image tool and Grammarly’s army of AI agents, there’s no shortage of innovation—or controversy. They unpack OpenAI’s ambitious Learning Accelerator in India and explore how Australian schools are rolling out Corella, an AI assistant aimed at reducing teacher workload. The duo also discuss new research including the Microsoft 2025 AI in Education report, the Tech Council of Australia’s workforce study, and that eye-catching MIT headline: “95% of AI projects fail.” Plus: Why students might start challenging teachers with Grammarly's grading predictions, how image tools are making reality harder to spot, and what a new AI supercomputer in Melbourne means for the future.
