Artificial Intelligence in education is a hot topic right now. With tools like ChatGPT and Khanmigo trending on Google, educators and students alike are asking: How do we adapt?
Cory Thompson, a forward-thinking mentor in Grand Junction CO, believes AI can be a powerful tool—if used correctly. In his work with youth in Fruita CO, he encourages balanced, ethical adoption of new technologies that help students—not replace them.
As AI grows more common in classrooms and scholarship essays, Cory sees an opportunity to teach digital responsibility. He also sees the importance of guiding students on how to use tech for good—like research, time management, and college readiness.
Through his scholarship fund and outreach, Cory Thompson Fruita is helping prepare the next generation to thrive in a tech-driven world—without losing sight of human values like empathy, critical thinking, and real-world experience.
“Technology can assist us, but character will always lead us,” Cory says.
