Welcome to episode 335 (“NotebookLM Revolution”) of the EdTech Situation Room from September 18, 2024, where technology news meets educational analysis. This week, Dr. Jason Neiffer (aicentrist.com) and Dr. Wesley Fryer (wesfryer.com) delved into Google’s NotebookLM advancements, including the “Audio Overview” feature revolutionizing document interaction. They explored OpenAI’s new reasoning model, Apple’s latest innovations from the 2024 event, and AI ethics with Taylor Swift’s stance on deepfakes. Other topics included Australia’s proposal to ban social media for children, Brazil’s action against Twitter/X, and game-changing tools like Descript and GPT integrations for productivity.
