Faces of the Future: AI, Robots & Reinventing Learning

From Silicon Valley pioneers to Panamanian libraries, discover how human-like robots and artificial intelligence are changing communication, education, and the future of technology.

In This Week's Episode: 

Join us as we sit down with Mark Heyer, an innovator who believes machines should look, listen, and respond like people. Imagine a robot with eyes that move, lips that sync, and a personality shaped by students themselves. This isn’t science fiction — it’s happening now in classrooms and libraries, powered by 3D printing, open-source robotics, and AI like ChatGPT.

We’ll explore:

• Why human communication needs more than screens and text.
• How AI works as a universal pattern recognizer — even capable of decoding animal languages.
• The story of Boquete Library in Panama, transforming from a quiet book repository into an AI-enabled hub of knowledge.
• How kids are building robots that teach them back, fostering critical thinking and creativity.
