AI doesn't need to be perfect to be useful. In this episode, Mary talks with Sid Abhinav and Behrang Mohajer about building educational tools that use AI not as a replacement for teachers, but as a support system. When used in the right context—with humans in the loop—imperfection becomes a learning opportunity, not a liability.
