Navigating our new digital frontier requires us to examine the critical intersection of AI and education at a juncture of innovation and equity. This talk will explore how AI can either perpetuate disparities or empower transformative learning experiences, emphasizing the need for ethical implementation to ensure technology bridges rather than widens both digital and learning divides. This discussion simultaneously invites and challenges educators, leaders, and policymakers to explore strategies for creating/implementing AI systems that enhance teaching and learning while dismantling barriers to an equitable education. Join me as we look into pioneering solutions that confront AI's challenges, ensuring a more empowering and equitable educational landscape.
