Session Description:
This session probes AI’s future in education, examining potential ethical and regulatory scenarios and their implications for AI’s integration in education. We underscore the need for educators to join a nationwide discourse akin to a ‘Manhattan Project,’ proactively engaging with administrators, technology leaders, politicians, and others. The emphasis is on preparing for a transformative, unpredictable future that will require resilience, an ethical mindset, and flexibility as AI transforms learning.
