Overview
AI has been advancing rapidly in research labs for the past 70 years. By fall 2022, however, AI made a dramatic impact in classrooms and schools around the world as the impressive outputs of ChatGPT become apparent. Over the last six weeks, media reports and conference presentations have raised the hype. What happens to education when AI can out-create humans? How do teachers monitor cheating and plagiarism? What and how should we teach in the age of AI? This symposium will provide insight and discussion from leading learning analytics and AI schools, detailing how technologies like ChatGPT can be practically used in classrooms as well as the challenges teachers and school leaders might face. The event will provide an engaging forum to make sense of AI and to openly discuss implementation challenges as well as impacts on schools.
