Was This AI Tool Built for Learning or Just for Work? | AI in the Classroom - Daily

In this episode we explore the question: were the AI tools entering classrooms actually designed for learning?

We look at a May 2026 preprint from Hassan Khosravi, Ryan Baker, and colleagues that argues many AI tools now being used in schools were originally built for work, not education.

Topics covered:
• How does the tool handle cognitive effort?
• What does the tool do when students make errors?
• What does the tool measure as success?
• Does the tool remember anything meaningful about the learner over time?
• Why tools that look effective during practice may fail when students must work without them
• What Khanmigo’s redesign can teach us about building AI around actual learner needs
• Why procurement conversations should focus less on marketing claims and more on learning design
