AI Governance with Travis Moyer","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":1714,"description":"In this episode of Make It Mindful, Seth talks with Travis Moyer - Banyan Global Learning's Director of Programming - about AI governance: the difference between AI policy and AI governance, and why so many schools have bought AI tools without building the shared language to use them well. Moyer has written previously that tech policy should start with human values rather than device restrictions, and that argument underlies the five-pillar governance framework he describes here.\nTogether, Seth and Travis explore what AI governance actually means as distinct from policy - the difference between rules and instructional purpose - and walk through the five-pillar framework Banyan has built around one central question: what thinking needs to stay human for learning to occur. They get into the classroom-level inconsistency this creates when one teacher bans AI and the one next door doesn't, why governance is a moving target rather than a document you write once, and what Travis actually tells other parents when they ask him what to do. The conversation closes on a specific, low-stakes way parents can start: showing kids what AI is capable of by helping them build something they already care about.\n\nKey topics:\nAI governance vs. AI policy — what's the difference\nBanyan's five-pillar AI governance framework\n\"Thinking must stay human\" as the framework's center\nWhy inconsistent classroom-level AI rules undermine trust\nCognitive offloading and critical thinking risk\nPrompt engineering and the case for a dedicated AI class\nPractical guidance for parents navigating AI at home\n\nLinks & Resources:\n\"Why Tech Policies Should Start with People: An Ethical Dilemma\" — Banyan Global Learning blog, May 16, 2025\n\"Artificial Intelligence in Education: AI Professional Development for Teachers\" — Banyan Global Learning blog, August 5, 2025\nBanyan Global Learning AI Governance services: https://www.banyangloballearning.com/ai-governance\n\nGuest Bio: Travis Moyer\nTravis Moyer is Banyan...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/aX0c3Zcu_BWgnhhPpU7UI3YNLxRjFjQabj8M1H8irwE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9hZjhi/ZWY0ZTA5YTUxYjE1/YTlmY2NlYTQ3NDkz/ZDZlYS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
