There is no question that artificial intelligence (AI) continues to be a source of intrigue and new learning for multiple facets of society. School systems are no exception. In its various forms, AI can sometimes be an effective help, but it can sometimes also be a hindrance to the goals and functions of educators. However, there is no doubt that AI will have a place in the world of the future. And since the role of every educator is to prepare each student to thrive in their future, AI is a critical part of leading and teaching in schools today.

In this edWeb podcast, three leading-edge superintendents are joined in conversation with CoSN’s AI Project Director. Together, they share what they have each come to learn about AI over the past few years. They describe effective processes and policies for using AI appropriately for teaching and learning, as well as for multiple other school leadership functions. An overview of CoSN’s free AI resources with links to access them is shared.

This edWeb podcast is of interest to K-12 district leaders, school leaders, education technology leaders, teachers, and librarians.
