April 16, 2025 - AI in Education

Hi there,

Welcome to this week's edition of Finance AI Weekly.

Mynd.ai has announced a leadership change with Arthur Giterman appointed as the new CEO, succeeding Vin Riera who will step down after eight years. Meanwhile, FirstHabit Inc, previously known as Seomjae, has rebranded to strengthen its global presence in AI-driven education. The company is focusing on its AI-powered educational tool, CHALK 3.0, which has shown promising results in beta tests.

At the ASU+GSV Summit, U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon mistakenly called artificial intelligence 'A1' while discussing its educational role, highlighting the importance of technology in teaching. A survey by the EdWeek Research Center reveals that many math teachers feel unprepared to use AI in their classrooms, citing insufficient training and support. Despite concerns about student cheating, educators are increasingly adopting AI tools for grading and planning.
