AI & the Future of Curriculum: Why Education Leaders Must Act Now

March 17, 2025

A few years ago, the idea of artificial intelligence transforming curriculum design seemed like a distant possibility. Today, it’s happening in real time. School districts, Chief Academic Officers, instructional technology leaders, and curriculum designers are no longer asking if AI should be part of education, but rather how to implement it effectively and ethically.

For education leaders, this shift presents both incredible opportunities and urgent challenges:

  • How can AI-driven tools be integrated into curriculum design while preserving human insight?
  • What role does AI play in assessments, and how do we ensure it enhances—rather than diminishes—critical thinking?
  • What evidence exists that AI improves learning outcomes?
  • How can instructional technology leaders and curriculum designers prepare teachers for an AI-driven learning environment?

These questions, and more, will be explored at The AI Show @ ASU+GSV, where education innovators will dive into AI’s role in curriculum, assessment, and instructional design through hands-on workshops and expert-led discussions.
