AI in the Classroom: Friend, Foe, or Future?

Artificial intelligence is finding its way into classrooms—from homework helpers and grading tools to lesson planning and tutoring. For some, AI represents innovation and expanded opportunities for students and teachers. For others, it raises concerns about academic integrity, student development, and the role of technology in education.

At this meeting, we’ll explore some of the many ways AI can be used in schools, what possibilities it creates, and what challenges it may bring for students, parents, and educators.

We’ll ask questions such as:

• How do you see AI shaping the future of learning for students?
• How have you seen AI being used either by teachers or students? What are your thoughts about it?
• In what ways might AI help teachers—and in what ways might it create new challenges?
• What policies do you think schools should put in place to encourage, regulate, or restrict the use of AI tools in classrooms?
• How might AI change the way students think, create, and interact with each other?
• What are your thoughts about students using AI tools to complete homework assignments?

This will be an opportunity to hear different perspectives on AI in schools and consider how we want technology to shape education for the next generation.

Please do your best to arrive at the beginning of the meeting – once we are in breakout rooms and the conversations have started, the meeting doors close to new arrivals. The breakout rooms open (and the doors close) approximately 15 minutes after the hour.
