GUEST PODCAST: EdTechnical Series 3 Episode 5
Authors
This season EdTech funder Libby Hills and AI researcher Owen Henkel continue to speak with leading researchers, practitioners and educators on the EdTechnical podcast series about the cutting edge of AI in education. They will break down complex AI concepts into non-technical insights to better understand what the research says and help educators sift the useful insights from the AI hype.
“I don’t think that hallucinations are going to be solved, you have to take them seriously.”
Daisy Christodoulou
This is a milestone moment for EdTechnical. Libby and Owen are not just releasing a new episode, but a new chapter. EdTechnical is evolving from a podcast into a broader platform focused on applied research, strategic investment, and sharing evidence-based insights about AI in education.
In this episode Libby and Owen are joined by Daisy Christodoulou MBE, EdTechnical’s very first guest from two years ago. Daisy is Director of Education at No More Marking and a leading voice in assessment. Daisy, Owen and Libby reflect over what’s changed in the two years since that first episode, including Daisy’s own views about the opportunities for AI use in assessment. Daisy shares what her team has learned through their recent experiments with AI work, including how falling model costs are unlocking new possibilities, and why human-in-the-loop systems are essential.
They also talk about the risks of direct AI feedback, the limits of voice-based assessment, and the persistent challenge of hallucinations. What’s working, what’s broken, and what’s worth building next in automated assessment?
