On September 20, 2019, the World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE) will hold an international conference on the future of AI in education, alongside UNESCO and Teachers College, Columbia University.
With the arrival of artificial intelligence in primary and secondary education classrooms, researchers are advising caution before welcoming AI without rigorous preparation. The conference will examine the current state of AI learning and the teaching of AI skills for students. It also will separate the myths from realities of AI and envision an inclusive future for AI in education and beyond the traditional classroom: in early childhood education, higher education, lifelong learning.
This conference comes as WISE prepares for its forthcoming Summit on November 19-21 in Doha, under the theme “UnLearn ReLearn: What is means to be Human?” A fitting topic for the 2019 summit theme, the conference will feature prominent speakers and panelists and tackle the pressing questions on the minds of educators, students, and parents as we prepare for a future of AI in the classroom.
