Generative AI is not coming, it is here. Districts need to understand how artificial intelligence can be a valuable educational tool for their students. It is equally important that districts are made aware of some of its limitations. What guidelines should districts set up for their use? How can school administrators use AI in their work? This conference will help attendees better prepare for the future of education with AI. Details, including registration, will be available soon.
