And in some subjects it’s hard to find an application of AI (or even tech) that makes the learning experience richer and more thoughtful.

That’s probably the case in most subjects, unless it’s an actual computer science class in AI or perhaps a different science or engineering class where you’re actually building AI applications/projects.
