Generative AI in Education
07-11, 13:15–14:10 (US/Pacific), Room 317

Generative AI has rapidly changed the landscape of computing and data education. Many learners are utilizing generative AI to assist in learning, so what should educators do to address the opportunities, risks, and potential for their use? The goal of this open discussion session is to bring together community members to unravel these pressing questions in order to not only improve learning outcomes in a variety of diverse contexts: not only students learning in a classroom setting, but also ed-tech or generative AI designers developing new user experiences that aim to improve human capacities, and even scientists interested in learning best practices for communicating results to stakeholders or creating learning materials for colleagues. The open discussion will include ample opportunity for community members to network with each other and build connections after the conference.
