Randy Sparkman

Randy Sparkman is a technologist and writer. Beginning with the advent of the personal computer, he spent a career on the front line of the emergence of our digital world. He recently retired from NASA after a long career as an IT manager. 

He has also been involved in public education policy and leadership for many years. Over the past two years, he's done a deep dive into the technical and workplace implications of generative AI, particularly as it may impact K-12 schools.


His recent book, "Language AI: A Guide for Humans," is an exploration of that topic. He has also written about technology and culture for Slate, The Wall Street Journal, American Outlook, and The Industry Standard.


He is currently working on generative AI literacy with K-12 districts and non-profits.
