4 Questions We Must Answer Before Bringing AI Into the Classroom - Education Week

Everyone tells you to "just start using AI." But nobody tells you which problem to solve first.

That's the real reason the tool sits unused at $200/month.

You're not tech-stupid. You're just being handed answers before anyone asked you the right questions.

Here's what caught my attention in a recent piece about AI in education. Before rolling out any AI tool, educators are being pushed to answer four foundational questions — not about the technology, but about the outcome they're protecting.

The sharpest one: does this AI substitute the tool's judgment for the human's own? That question matters just as much in business. If AI is making decisions your team no longer understands, you haven't gained efficiency. You've lost control.

The smartest AI implementation I've seen starts with one question: what decision or task is eating my team's time without adding real value? That's your entry point. Not the flashiest tool. The most targeted one.

Pick one repetitive internal task this week. Write down exactly what happens, step by step. That single document becomes your AI brief — no coding, no consultants, no system overhaul required.

What's the one task in your business that AI should have solved by now but hasn't?
