Navigating the Impact of Artificial Intelligence on School Programs

The impact of Artificial Intelligence on education demands that our professional practices adapt. Join Kelsey Means and Christopher Esposito to explore the profound implications of AI for school libraries and learning. We will delve into the core challenges AI presents—specifically, the critical need to address bias, promote deep AI Literacy as an extension of digital literacy, and ensure accountability in student work. Simultaneously, we will highlight the exciting opportunities AI offers, such as fueling creativity and creating a deeper impact on student learning. Discover how our school is actively addressing these issues, from establishing a Responsible AI in Learning (RAIL) task force and revising AUPs to offering professional development and integrating tools like Gemini AI for students and teachers. Attendees will gain practical strategies for navigating these changes while keeping A.I. Privacy and Safety.
