Ashton Cudjoe: How AI is Revolutionizing Education | The Covert Code Podcast | EP 102
Fri Feb 06 2026
Before we were all talking about AI, Ashton Cudjoe was already using it to change education.
In this episode of The Covert Code Podcast, I sit down with Ashton Cudjoe, founder and CEO of Hawaii Medical College, to explore how AI workflows are revolutionizing education—and how Ashton is pioneering its use at HMI.
Ashton discusses how his school has implemented AI-driven chatbots and voice assistants to streamline operations, increase student engagement, and boost conversion rates by 30%. He explains how AI is enhancing the learning experience for students while maintaining the necessary human connection in education. We dive into the future of education, AI’s role in teaching, and how to strike the right balance between human interaction and automation.
If you’re in education, tech, or simply curious about how AI will shape the future of learning, this episode offers fresh perspectives and actionable insights.
