Session description

From bias & bigotry to copyright & consent, educators must consider the ethical and equity impacts of AI as we introduce this new technology. This session equips educators with the knowledge and resources to educate responsive citizens in an age where AI is increasing misinformation, inequality, and surveillance.

Purpose & objective

Participants will leave more knowledgeable about the perils and pitfalls of AI. Participants will leave with resources to share with others. Participants will leave with discussion questions to bring to meetings. Participants will learn to host critical conversations about AIs shortcomings
Our collective objective is to make sure we, as digital citizens, can identify and mitigate problems presented by this new technology rather than blindly adopting it because it can help us with our “work.”
