Realizing the Potential and Mitigating the Risks of AI for Education

How can we optimize the potential of AI, as well as mitigate the concerns about biases, inequities, misinformation, deepfakes, security, privacy and misuses of AI in order to fairly, safely, and productively use AI for teaching and learning? How can we prepare educators, parents and students to understand the potential and address these risks?
