Narrative: Holy Hubs

What are AI Hubs?

• We are using the term “hub” a little incorrectly here. An AI hub is a thing in the tech space where AI models can be trained.
• When we say hub, we mean AI platforms or workspaces that do LOTS of different teacher related things
• Most of these use ChatGPT or something similar in the background. For example, let’s say you wanted to write a lesson plan … you could get the same results if you just went to ChatGPT and put in a very specific prompt, but Magic School’s lesson plan generator has done that for you.
• Also, Khanmigo uses GPT, but it has been specifically trained on the videos and resources held by Khan Academy.
