AI&ED

Automaton by Henri Maillardet, ca 1800, Franklin Institute, Philadelphia

Would you like to cut through the noise surrounding AI in Education and engage in a critical and thoughtful discussion with TC students, staff, and faculty? The AI & Ed Reading Group is a collective focused on thinking through big ideas at the bleeding edge of issues of AI and education.

Each session, we'll dive into a carefully selected article exploring topics like AI tutoring systems, algorithmic bias in educational technology, the impact of generative AI on student work, emerging pedagogical approaches in an AI-enhanced world, and more.

No prior expertise in AI required. This is a welcoming place to share perspectives, ask questions, and learn. Just bring your curiosity and willingness to think critically about these rapidly evolving issues.
