In this episode of Chalk and Code, host Jennilee Bertrand sits down with Jamie Forrest, Co-Founder and CTO of Coursemojo, to explore what it takes to build responsible AI for real classrooms.

Jamie shares how his background in AI engineering at Apple (Siri), his early experience teaching in Harlem, and the realities of COVID learning for his own kids shaped a clear philosophy: technology should support people, not the other way around.

Together, they unpack Coursemojo’s decision to keep AI mostly “behind the scenes,” how the platform helps students who are afraid to raise their hands get the support they need, and the systems Coursemojo uses to protect student privacy at scale – including never sending personally identifiable information to third-party AI models.
