SREB Commission on AI in Education

Overview

Commission on Artificial Intelligence in Education

How can we prepare students for AI in K-12 through postsecondary and the workforce?

The SREB Commission on Artificial Intelligence in Education convenes leaders in education and business to chart a course for how AI is used in classrooms and how to prepare people for a workforce transformed by technology.

Grounded in research and real-world perspectives, the commission evaluates the opportunities, risks and practical considerations of AI in education. It has focused on guidance and recommendations to help policymakers and educators:

  • Create policies for states, K-12 schools, colleges and universities
  • Prepare students for careers in AI
  • Use AI to enhance, not replace, faculty instruction and student learning across K-12 and postsecondary
  • Upskill educators to guide ethical and responsible use and ensure student data privacy
