While these are early days in genAI adoption, it’s clear that educators, parents and leaders must dive in to understand the benefits and risks to establish sensible policies and safeguards. Artificial intelligence offers innovative solutions across subjects, such as math, science, humanities and literacy. One in 3 teachers has experimented with AI tools. With more time and energy freed up through this technology, classroom teachers can do what only humans can do: foster meaningful interactions with students. A second bright spot: genAI tools allow the possibility of 1:1 student tutoring — in multiple languages, across all subjects — in both school and home situations. 

However, we are still in the early days of understanding AI, building AI literacy among adults and students, and providing the necessary training for educators. Guidance is emerging: 14 U.S. states have state education leaders who have provided guidance to their districts. Many schools are still in the process of developing AI policies, resulting in unequal access to these advancements.

Join us on Thursday, July 25 from 3–4:30 p.m. ET, as we explore how AI can empower both students and educators, bridging the AI gap and driving education equity for all. We must ensure that all students and teachers, regardless of their community’s wealth, have the opportunity to benefit from AI. Attendees will learn more about: 

• The role of AI in engaging students, with examples from literacy, math and more; 
• How AI can support teacher effectiveness and wellness; 
• The disparity in AI access and its impact on educational equity; 
• Principles, priorities and strategies needed to close the gaps for students most at risk; and 
• Advocacy strategies for GLR communities to promote early AI adoption and prevent another digital divide. 

Please join me for a crucial discussion on how AI can support our long-standing vision for equity in education.
