Guy Trainin is a Full Professor in the Department of Teaching, Learning and Teacher Education at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where he studies how people learn with and through emerging technology, most recently generative AI. His research asks practical questions about what it means to be AI-fluent in an era when the tools are changing faster than the curricula designed to teach them. Trainin brings to REACT-E a record of empirical work at the intersection of AI, learning, and educator preparation. With colleagues in engineering and across disciplines, he has examined how faculty understand and integrate generative AI into instruction, how AI-generated texts perform against human-authored ones in K-12 contexts, and what fluency with AI actually requires of learners at different stages. Trainin co-hosts the podcast Azadeh and Guy on AI, writes the Substack GuyonAI, and has delivered keynotes on AI literacy for international audiences. His research has been supported by more than $19.9 million in external funding, and he has mentored more than 30 doctoral students to completion. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of California, Riverside.
