Panel 1: “Embracing Generative Artificial Intelligence in Tax Teaching”

As generative artificial intelligence continues to evolve, tax pedagogy will also need to evolve. How are tax educators embracing the use of generative artificial intelligence in their tax teaching? This panel of educators will offer commentary and insight on their experiences using generative artificial intelligence to support their tax teaching to further learning outcomes.

Panel 2: “Restricting the Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Tax Teaching”
