Can AI Be Your Equity Coach?

2024 Peralta Online Equity Conference - Day 2 - DISCUSSION 7A: Can AI Be Your Equity Coach?
Jennifer Culver | Southern Methodist University
Who doesn’t talk about artificial intelligence (AI) these days? With the arrival of ChatGPT in November 2022, not a day goes by without new and fabulous ways of how AI can help us in all aspects of our lives. However, what if we take the rose tinted glasses off and look at AI a bit closer. Is everything as shiny as promised? Where do ethical practices come into the conversation? What do we as educators need to keep in mind (or even worry about)?
This session aims to add to the current conversation by looking at practices that foster equity in education and how they might be influenced by AI - both positively and negatively - and what possibilities there are to work with AI meaningfully. It is an opportunity for both facilitators and participants to add to their sense making in this space and where they want to go next.
