Overview
The Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) and the Stanford Accelerator for Learning co-hosted Stanford’s Annual AI+Education Summit.
In its third instance, the summit aimed to ignite a global conversation on how to shape a thriving learning ecosystem with human-centered AI technologies. Leading researchers, K-12 educators, and policymakers came together to unlock the potential of AI to personalize learning, empower teachers, and bridge educational divides. We explored cutting-edge applications in language models, virtual reality, and more, while discussing how to ensure AI serves education ethically, responsibly and equitably.
