Four Priorities for Human-Centered AI in School
The Ohio School Public Relations Association is excited to present the latest installment in our virtual Lunch and Learn series! Join us virtually on Friday, January 31, 2025, at noon for a session with Eric Hudson, who will discuss the topic of Human-Centered AI in Schools.
Two years after the release of ChatGPT, schools are considering how to adopt long-term, sustainable strategies to the rise of generative AI. The first step is to reset our priorities to ensure our approach is mission-aligned and human-centered rather than reactive and proscriptive. In this session, we'll explore four essential priorities: augmentation over automation, literacy over policy, design over technology, and vision over decisions. We'll look at research and use cases from innovative schools. We'll consider how a school's approach to AI can be an asset to its program, to its message, and to its community.
This virtual Lunch and Learn session is FREE to OHSPRA members. Cost is $25 for non members. The link to join the virtual meeting will be sent via email before the session.
