About the Workshop
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming every sector of the economy and reshaping the very fabric of our society. Large language models (LLMs) such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, and Meta’s Llama are at the forefront of this revolution. The accessibility of these models presents both tremendous challenges and opportunities, particularly in the field of education. At the post-secondary level, responses from educators vary widely, ranging from enthusiastic adoption to cautious skepticism. Regardless of perspective, one thing is clear: generative AI is here to stay, and it is imperative that we develop and share insights to help equip our institutions and their constituents for the future.
This workshop aims to address the pressing issues at the intersection of generative AI and K-12 education. We are bringing together educators, researchers, AI experts, and other stakeholders for a full-day, in-person collaborative exploration.
Workshop Goals
- Assessment: Develop a realistic understanding of the current capabilities and limitations of LLMs, both today and in the near future.
- Challenges & Opportunities: Surface and discuss the many challenges and opportunities that generative AI presents to K-12 education.
- Best Practices: Share initial efforts and best practices that have already begun to emerge in this space.
- Community Building: Foster a community that can work together towards a vision of the future, supported by a realistic plan of action.
Target Audience
This workshop is designed for educators, researchers, policy makers, and AI professionals who are currently engaged in or interested in the implications of generative AI for K-12 education. Whether you are actively integrating AI into your curriculum or seeking to understand its potential impact, this event offers valuable insights and the opportunity to contribute to the ongoing conversation.
Be part of the dialogue as we navigate the future of education together. We look forward to your participation!
