Webinar: Four Priorities for Human-Centered AI in Schools

Wednesday, January 15, 2025 (2pm - 3pm US/Eastern)

Zoom Meeting




Nearly two years after the release of ChatGPT, schools are considering how to adopt long-term, sustainable strategies for the rise of generative AI. The first step is to reset our priorities to ensure our approach is mission-aligned and human-centered rather than reactive and proscriptive. In this session, we'll explore four essential priorities: augmentation over automation, literacy over policy, design over technology, and vision over decisions. We'll look at research and use cases from innovative schools. We'll consider how a school's approach to AI can be an asset to its program, its message, and its community.
