Join Davis Schneiderman for a thought-provoking conversation on artificial intelligence in educational settings. Registration Required.

What does the future hold for artificial intelligence in education? Will AI redefine the way we learn and teach? In this session, tailored for education professionals, students, and parents, we’ll explore the potential future of AI in the classroom. We'll consider the possibilities and challenges that lie ahead, such as students using AI tools to assist with essay writing, the creation of fake images and voices, and issues surrounding copyright in the context of AI-generated artwork. We’ll grapple with the ethical implications of AI systems and their potential impact on the future of education. We will explore strategies for navigating these challenges while harnessing the potential benefits of AI in education. We’ll also consider the role of educators, students, and parents in shaping the future of AI and the importance of proactive governance and responsible innovation.
