Dr Leon Furze

In GenAI is Normal Edtech, Leon Furze draws on Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor's framework of "AI as normal technology" to argue that GenAI is following predictable patterns seen in previous technological shifts. He acknowledges widespread exhaustion among educators—whether from vendor hype and student misuse, or from negativity against a potentially helpful tool—and suggests these feelings are normal responses to technology cycles we've experienced before.
