Exploring Artificial Intelligence - Fall


Are you scratching your head? Not sure how to jump in? New to AI and its impact on your work? So are we! 

Join us in November as we pry open the lid on generative artificial intelligence together at this one-day conference. We’ll hear from experts and talk with each other as we seek understanding, find common language, and build our confidence. 


Dr. Trenton Ford

 

Dr. Trenton Ford, Assistant Professor of Data Science at William & Mary and Director of the Ford AI and Society (FAIS) Lab, will kick off the day with an interactive keynote presentation.

 

 

 

 

Concurrent sessions featuring leaders, teachers, and fellow AI navigators will focus on how teachers are using AI to advance their work and what they need to know in order to help students use it meaningfully, and a panel of experts will address attendees' questions. We’ve built in time throughout the day for participants to explore, practice, and exchange ideas with colleagues. Bring a fully charged laptop to this exciting adventure!
