Yusuf Ahmed has had an interesting history, including working directly with the President of the American University in Cairo (AUC) during the Egyptian revolution. Today he is a cofounder of the non-profit PlayLab AI. This interview covers a range of topics related to education and technology. Including this: "We could have easily created Playlab as a closed platform—similar to something like Teachers Pay Teachers, Facebook, or Amazon. But we chose a different path.
