Blindsided by AI: The bigger picture

This documentary is an eye-opening journey through the confusing first school year with generative AI. The film spotlights an education community united by the same quest but struggling to balance the need to go fast and slow simultaneously. Blindsided puts a human face on the unique obstacles this dilemma created for everyone in education, including teachers, students, administrators, professors, parents, professional associations, and ed tech companies. Drawing from 15,000+ interviews, the film captures the epic thinking, gut feelings, and overlooked questions shaping how AI is impacting teaching and learning. As big as Gen AI is, the documentary discovers a bigger picture —seeing it changes everything. Ultimately, Blindsided is an uplifting collection of stories that vividly illuminate what it takes for Gen AI to fulfill its potential and do no harm. The film premiered at ISTE Live June 24, 2024.
