Last week, I attended the Artificial Intelligence (AI) K12 Deeper Learning Summit hosted by Anaheim Union High School District, UC Irvine, Google for Education, Digital Promise, and aiEDU. With over 630 guests and representatives from 110 school districts in attendance, educators, students, and leaders learned and collaborated about AI’s rapidly evolving role in education.
With Anaheim in our backyard, I am disappointed CVUSD had no presence because the discussions with experts and educators were invaluable. Participants discussed the importance of responsible governance in partnership with the local community.
The engagement from administrators, educators, and students was palpable and the contrast between our district and others couldn’t have been more stark. Districts nationwide are prioritizing AI because of its immediate implications and opportunities that will change the paradigm of education – with or without us.
As a tech professional in K12, higher ed, and corporate software development, I understand how imperative it is that we’re aware of the challenges and opportunities of AI to equip students for the future. Students, parents and teachers play a pivotal role in helping us move forward and create the guardrails to protect students, empower educators, and improve transparency.
CVUSD continues to waste time, money and resources on politics and culture wars at the expense of innovation and progress, further accelerating the student achievement gap. It’s not too late, but there needs to be a commitment to focus on providing students with the skills to become leaders of the next-generation – and it needs to start now.
