What if the goal of a disagreement isn’t to win it?

Dr. Julia Minson, professor of public policy at the Harvard Kennedy School and founder of Disagreeing Better, LLC, joins host, Annie Duke, to explore why disagreements so often go wrong, and what it takes to have them go well.

Julia explains why we each assume our own view is the reasonable one, and why that leads us to conclude that people who disagree must be uninformed, biased, or worse.

Listen to the episode and let us know what you learned about how to disagree better.

Thanks to everyone who joined us at EDTECH Week for our session, “The Human Advantage: Workforce Demand for Decision Skills in the Age of AI.”

Our panelists Ayisha Irfan of the Augmented Intelligence Advisory, Shrinidhi Rao of The Burning Glass Institute, and Olga Polites of Media Literacy Now had a conversation about workforce trends, AI literacy, media literacy, and classroom practice, moderated by David Samuelson, Alliance Executive Director.

It was a full house! One thread of conversation particularly resonated with the audience: don’t give your agency to an AI. As generative AI automates more technical and cognitive tasks, workforce demand is shifting toward uniquely human capabilities: judgment, adaptability, discernment, and decision-making under uncertainty. Thankfully, these are skills schools can develop through Decision Education.

We look forward to more conferences ahead!

What if the AI is wrong?

As AI takes on a bigger role in gathering data and delivering answers, the ability to ask questions and seek additional information becomes even more essential.

On the latest episode of The Decision Education Podcast, Vice Admiral Jan Tighe, a pioneering career cryptologist and one of the Navy's most decorated commanders, joins Annie Duke and makes the case that students need to learn these skills in K–12.

Happening today!

As generative AI automates more technical and cognitive tasks, workforce demand is shifting toward uniquely human capabilities: judgment, adaptability, discernment, and decision-making under uncertainty.

That's what our panelists will be exploring at EDTECH WEEK today, October 15, in a session called “The Human Advantage: Workforce Demand for Decision Skills in the Age of AI Panel.”
David Samuelson, our Executive Director, Ayisha Irfan of the Augmented Intelligence Advisory (formerly an AI Policy Leader at Google), Shrinidhi Rao of The Burning Glass Institute, and Olga Polites of Media Literacy Now will connect workforce trends, AI literacy, media literacy, and classroom practice.

The discussion will explore how schools can develop learner agency in complex digital environments and share examples of how educators and organizations are integrating decision-making, AI literacy, and media literacy into instruction and career readiness pathways.

Attendees will leave with research-backed insights, classroom and workforce examples, and concrete strategies for embedding decision-making and AI literacy into K–12 learning experiences.

Let us know if you’re in New York. We hope to see you there!
