I’m back hosting State of the Bay tonight at 6pm PT after a brief summer break. First, local wildlife expert and CEO of Humane Wildlife Control Inc. Rebecca Dmytryk will join us to explain why coyotes seem to be proliferating in the Bay Area and give us tips to keep safe. If you want more, check out Living With Coyotes in the Bay Area: a discussion.

Then: what role should artificial intelligence play in the classroom? Will it help teachers teach and students learn, or will it facilitate cheating or trip users up with misinformation? We unpack the issues with:

• Gwen Hornig, eighth grade English teacher at Black Pine Circle School in Berkeley
• Dan Schwartz, Dean of the Stanford Graduate School of Education
• Victoria Thorp, writing instructor at San Jose State University.

Finally, local author Nina Schuyler joins us to discuss her latest short story collection, In This Ravishing World.

Tune in at 91.7 FM in the San Francisco Bay Area or stream live at 6pm PT. What comments or questions do you have for our guests? Call 866-798-TALK to join the conversation!
