AI in Care and Education: Enhancing Humanity or Risking Connection?
Description
In this solo episode of the Able to Care podcast, Andy Baker—behaviour specialist, author, trainer, and speaker—explores a topic that’s becoming impossible to ignore: artificial intelligence in care and education.
With AI tools appearing in classrooms, care homes, and behaviour support planning, Andy asks:
🧠 Is AI a threat or an opportunity?
💡 Can it support person-centred practice—or risk removing the person altogether?
This thought-provoking episode explores how AI can:
Free up carers, teachers, and support workers to focus on what really matters
Improve inclusion by adapting communication and materials to individual needs
Assist with planning, documentation, and accessibility — without replacing empathy or connection
Whether you're a parent using tech at home, a teacher considering AI tools, or a care professional balancing paperwork with people work—this episode is for you.
