Kevin Roose (Technology Columnist, The New York Times) and Casey Newton (Founder & Editor, Platformer) join at the ASU+GSV Summit 2026 in Is AI Eating Education? — Interview Series with Kevin Roose & Casey Newton to examine AI’s impact on education, work, and society.

They sit down with leaders across education, technology, and policy, including Tade Oyerinde, Adrián Ridner, Omar Abbosh, Romy Drucker, Kumar Garg, and Arati Prabhakar, to explore how AI is reshaping pathways from learning to work and the future of innovation.
