About Jed

Jed Macosko is a physics professor at Wake Forest University who actively transforms his classroom into an AI laboratory. He challenges his first-year students to utilize agentic coding to build personalized cryptocurrency trackers, data visualization tools, and custom digital assistants. Macosko relies heavily on generative AI to streamline his own pedagogical workflow, generating thousands of practice problems and translating complex equations into accessible formats. While deeply embracing this technological integration, he remains mindful of the social costs of artificial companionship and stresses the irreplaceable value of human mentorship.
