Friend or Foe? The Social Risks and Rewards of Generative AI in Education

Session 7: 1:15pm-2:15pm (Saturday March 08, 2025)

 

Description

Generative AI and chatbots offer exciting possibilities for education, but they also pose significant risks. This presentation will delve into the dangers of oversharing personal information with AI, and how it can be exploited. We will also explore the potential benefits of AI, particularly in the realm of social-emotional learning (SEL). By training AI models on high-quality data and ethical guidelines, we can harness their power to enhance SEL skills and create a safer digital learning environment.
