Overview
From generative AI platforms to adaptive learning programs and more precise feedback, AI is rapidly changing opportunities in teaching and learning. The use of AI in learning is also sparking challenging questions about what is taught and how and what kind of data needs to be collected.
The Stanford Accelerator for Learning is leaning into this space by providing new research, learning, and convening opportunities that bring together talent from across education, science, and technology to chart an ethical, informed, and exciting path for the future.

Funding opportunities
Generative AI is artificial intelligence that can generate novel content by using existing text, audio files, or images. Generative AI has now reached a tipping point where it can produce high quality output that can support many different kinds of tasks. For example, ChatGPT can write essays and code, DALL-E can create images and art, while other forms of generative AI can produce recipes, music, and videos. These new forms of generative AI have the capacity to change how we think, create, teach, and also learn.
The AI+Education program has collaborated with the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI), to fund two rounds of early and exploratory stages of research on AI and education, including designs, prototypes, and pilot studies that may have the potential to scale or have broad impact in the future.

Resources for Educators
The Stanford Accelerator for Learning works with educators to facilitate the exchange of information and bridge the gap between research and practice. Educators help inform AI researchers and developers about PK-12’s challenges. They also suggest new areas of research and development to help address critical needs within the education system.
Curricular Resources
The Curricular Resources about AI for Teaching (CRAFT) project brings together researchers and educators to co-create resources to teach AI literacies in high school.
AI Tinkery
Housed in the Center for Education Research at Stanford (CERAS), the AI Tinkery is a collaborative space for educators to play and tinker with the possibilities of generative AI in the classroom.
Professional Learning Video Series
In this series, Stanford faculty share their experiences and perspectives on AI and learning as they respond to questions from educators. Each video comes with a set of discussion questions that teachers can use to self-reflect or engage in conversation with colleagues.
