In this episode of TransformED with StepUp, Dr. Sabba Quidwai (author of How Design Thinking Makes You Irreplaceable in a World with AI) joins us to explore how schools can embrace AI without losing the human connection that makes learning powerful.

Dr. Quidwai shares why innovation begins with empathy, not technology, and how design thinking helps leaders uncover real problems before rushing to solutions. She challenges common misconceptions about AI, explains how to approach it as a trusted team member, and highlights the uniquely human skills—like curiosity, creativity, and collaboration—that will keep us thriving in an AI-driven future.

Full of practical strategies and inspiring stories from her work with schools, this conversation is a roadmap for any leader ready to move from fear to confidence with AI while designing cultures of innovation.
