How AI and Screens Are Changing Reading (with Naomi Baron)

AI is transforming not only the way students work but also the way they read.

AI summarizes readings for students, changing the way they engage with texts, form judgments, and—perhaps—develop cognitively.

On this episode of The Report Card, Nat Malkus speaks with Naomi Baron about these changes and more.

Naomi Baron is Professor Emerita of Linguistics at American University and the author of Reader Bot: What Happens When AI Reads and Why It Matters.
