France Hoang, Co-founder and CEO of BooleBox, shares how responsible AI innovation is transforming the education landscape on the Disruption Interruption Podcast, hosted by Karla Jo Helms (KJ). From enabling experiential learning to developing lifelong critical thinking, this week's episode unpacks AI's potential to revolutionize education for students and professors alike.
TAMPA BAY, Fla., June 25, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- AI is revolutionizing every industry, and education is no exception. A recent World Economic Forum survey shows 71% of teachers and 65% of students believe AI tools are essential for success in college and future workplaces. (1) Yet, most campuses lack the infrastructure, policies, and training to use those tools well, leaving students unprepared and educators overwhelmed. This week on the Disruption Interruption podcast, host Karla Jo Helms (KJ) sits down with France Hoang, Co-Founder and CEO of BooleBox, to explore the cutting-edge solutions his company is bringing to this AI frontier. "AI isn't just here to stay; it's pushing education to rethink what it means to learn and teach effectively," says Hoang. "We need to shift from focusing on simply producing content, to focusing on the processes and critical thinking that AI can enhance."
AI in the Classroom Is Both Opportunity and Challenge
The rapid integration of AI tools in education creates both opportunities and obstacles. With 80-90% of students using AI, educators must redefine outdated strategies and engage students in innovative ways. Hoang emphasizes how traditional methods, such as essays and quizzes, focus on the final "product," while education should prioritize the "process" of learning.
"Students are already using AI extensively to self-tutor and explore deeper questions. The challenge is transparency," says Hoang. "Professors can only see the end result, not the critical thinking process behind it. For AI to succeed in classrooms, educators need tools that shine a light on how students use AI."
Hoang also points out that access to advanced AI tools creates inequalities. "Some students are paying for premium AI tools, producing superior results compared to their peers. Without equitable access, AI risks widening the digital divide within education," he explains.
BooleBox Brings AI Transparency to Learning
France Hoang's BooleBox is tackling the AI knowledge gap head-on. The platform provides educators and students access to top AI tools with unmatched transparency, allowing professors to see how AI is being used in the learning process.
"BooleBox isn't just about offering tools; it's about creating an environment where AI enables better education," Hoang says. "With our platform, students can collaborate with multiple AI systems or even build their own AI assistants to solve complex, real-world problems. It's an active learning model that makes them future-ready."
Students learn not only their curriculum but also the nuances of AI. For example, marketing students can build their AI bots to assist with specific challenges, learn from their interactions, and develop critical AI enablement skills needed for today's dynamic job market.
"Imagine a world where students aren't just passively consuming information but actively building tools that help them solve real problems. That's the promise of BooleBox," adds Hoang.
