AI + Learning Differences Working Symposium

New Horizons, New Solutions

Supported by Alana

Overview

The AI + Learning Differences Working Symposium: New Horizons, New Solutions explored how technological innovations can influence the life trajectories of people with disabilities and their families. Educators, civil servants, first responders, and families can all benefit from added support that AI may have the potential to offer.

The interactive and generative symposium on Friday, December 6, brought together a select group of researchers, innovators, policymakers, and philanthropic leaders. Throughout the day, we engaged in thought-provoking discussions and collaborative roundtables aimed at identifying and developing actionable solutions. We worked together to set new directions in policy, innovation, and funding that will empower all learners. Following the day’s sessions, there was a reception and dinner on campus, providing opportunities for further networking and informal discussions.

The symposium was followed by the AI+ Learning Differences Hackathon on Saturday, December 7, bringing together technologists, educators, students, and families to prototype AI-driven solutions supporting learning differences.
