Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly integrating into our daily lives, including one space we hold most sacred: our classrooms, the incubators of ideas for a better future. K-12 and higher education administrators and educators are currently incorporating some of the vast potential of AI to transform educational systems.
So, what does this all mean? Many educators are optimistic about the potential for AI to positively impact the future of education in our country and here in Arlington, while recognizing areas of concern that must be addressed such as: transparency, ethics and equity. Join our distinguished panel of experts for a deeper look at these topics.
