Learning with Machine Learning: How Artificial Intelligence Will Disrupt Teaching for Good
With emerging technologies such as ChatGPT and other AI tools, the robots are coming to take over much of what we teach, and educators who want to do what’s best for our students need to be ready to adapt. Visionary school leaders who are ready for that shift will be best suited to provide the human-powered learning that will be essential for all students in the next 10 years. Kevin will explain why the age of teachers delivering content will end very soon and why students more than ever will need tech-savvy (but definitely human) teachers who can do what machines cannot—nurture powerful creativity with thoughtful questions, appreciate screen-down mindfulness, and develop an intellectual purpose.
