Buckingham Browne & Nichols School
80 Gerry’s Landing Road, Cambridge MA
Registration Deadline: Friday, February 21, 2025
The conference sessions will provide opportunities for deep learning, rich discussion and hands-on opportunities designed to support participants in using practical AI ideas and applications in a variety of school based roles. Participants will also learn about and explore essential priorities in AI using relevant research and cases from innovative schools. We invite you to join us for this unique opportunity to collaboratively look ahead to what’s next for our schools in this age of AI.
“Nearly two years after the release of ChatGPT, schools are considering how to adopt long-term, sustainable strategies to the rise of generative AI. The first step is to reset our priorities to ensure our approach is mission-aligned and human-centered rather than reactive and proscriptive. In this session, we’ll explore four essential priorities: augmentation over automation, literacy over policy, design over technology, and vision over decisions. We’ll look at research and use cases from innovative schools. We’ll discuss use cases that exemplify human-centered use of AI. And, we’ll consider what’s next for our schools in an AI age.”
