The formation of the AI-native generation
AI is a total mindshift for professionals – and its outputs can dupe even the most eagle-eyed among us. So how do we introduce kids to AI in a way that fosters understanding, curiosity, and responsibility?
Join us for a panel of AI educators – including Garrett Smiley (CEO & Co-founder of Sora Schools), John Danner (Co-founder of Project Read AI and Spark Space), and Ted Dintersmith (Founder of WhatSchoolCouldBe.org) – focused on practical strategies for preparing today’s youth for an AI-driven world.
They’ll answer questions like:
- What are some of the biggest challenges you foresee in educating the next generation about AI, and how can we address them?
- How can we balance teaching technical AI skills with fostering creativity, integrity, empathy, and other human-centric values in kids?
- Kids are the most impressionable people in society – how do we help them understand the risks around AI and the need to think critically about its outputs?
- How do we ensure AI education is equitable and accessible to all children, regardless of socioeconomic status?
- What will this AI-native generation be capable of, given the right education and training?
