AI can be a polarizing topic.

Are you concerned that Artificial Intelligence might replace humans? Are you excited at the possibilities where AI will enhance human performance? Will AI take away jobs, from us as teaches as well as from our students when it’s their turn to enter the workforce?

Michelle Zimmerman is the author of Teaching AI: Exploring New Frontiers for Learning, award-winning educator, and a featured speaker at this year’s FETC. In this Edchat Interactive she will lead us in discussions to disambiguate some of the mystery surrounding , and help you better prepare your students for, what exists now and in the future in topics including AI, robotics, machine learning, and cognitive systems.

AI is already supporting learning from early childhood though adult training in industry. On the other side, increasingly we are being classified by AI algorithms, learning about us, advertising to us, in medicine and law, and even in creative fields and hiring protocols. How can we make these more beneficial by recognizing and avoiding unintentional (or worse, intentional) bias?

How do we best prepare our young people for a future where AI has great potential for good?
