will.i.am and EDU.FYI: Giving Students Agency Over Agents | Dreamforce 2026
will.i.am uses his EDU.FYI platform and ASU professorship to teach students to build personal AI agents responsibly
“Being in this class taught me how responsible you have to be while you're building an agent that's going to be representing you out in the real world.”
At Dreamforce 2026, will.i.am, Dr. Ron C. Smith, and Sonia Christian discussed the EDU.FYI platform, which teaches students to build personal AI agents and overcome fear of AI in education. The segment is largely promotional testimonial content with limited hard industry signal, though it reflects a broader trend of AI-agent literacy entering education.
