Could AI Break the Factory Model of School? Rethinking K–12 Learning with Dr. Taylor Wrye

Can school survive if students no longer need to learn on the system’s schedule?

In this episode of Your AI Injection, host Deep Dhillon speaks with Dr. Taylor Wrye, Director of Technology and Innovation at Nauset Public Schools, about how artificial intelligence is entering K–12 classrooms and what it means for the structure of schooling. Wrye explains that teachers and students are often learning how to use these tools at the same time, working through questions about their role in everyday instruction. Drawing on his work supporting educators across the district, he discusses how schools are approaching AI in ways that maintain teacher guidance while opening space for more flexible learning. The conversation considers how schools might adapt as technology changes how students engage with information and with each other.
