AI as an Adaptation Engine: The Future of Play, Learning & Kids | Jody Sherman LeVos
AI is changing the way we think about play, learning and personalization. But what should technology never lose along the way?
In this episode of Game Changers: The Future of Play, Sarah Ramoz, Toni Callahan and Stephany Ventura talk with Dr. Jody Sherman LeVos, Chief Learning Officer at BEGiN, about the intersection of AI, gaming, child development and learning science.
Jody explores why the future of AI-powered learning may be less about generating more content and more about creating experiences that can adapt to the individual. She discusses how AI could personalize coaching, pacing, challenges, feedback and encouragement while keeping the underlying learning objective intact.
The conversation also tackles healthy digital play, screen time, AI safety, trust, human connection and responsible design for children. Jody explains why learning should be integrated into play rather than treated as an interruption, and why developers should continue testing and co-designing with real children and families even as AI makes product development faster.
One of the biggest takeaways? AI may be most powerful when it helps people feel safe, seen and supported.
And when asked what skill the gaming industry will need most in the coming years, Jody has a simple answer: curiosity.
Listen to the full episode for a forward-looking conversation about AI, gaming, education and the future of play.

In this episode of Game Changers: The Future of Play, we explore how gaming success is no longer defined by gameplay alone—but by the ecosystems built around it.
Guest Ines Ramalho, Business Development Manager at Xsolla, breaks down how developers scale globally through payments infrastructure, monetization strategy, localization, and direct-to-consumer ecosystems.
We discuss:
Why global gaming growth is always local
How payments impact conversion and trust
The rise of ecosystem-driven game development
AI’s role in scaling studios and operations
Why developers need partners, not vendors
Gaming is evolving fast—and the winners are those who think beyond the game itself.
