field of computer science, integrating
concepts from mathematics,
engineering, and psychology.

1980s
 Large Language Models (LLMs), a
product of DL techniques, are models
specialized for tasks like natural
language processing, text generation,
and translation.

2020s
Generative AI (Gen AI) is a powerful category of
AI that includes LLMs and other models that
generate text, images, videos, or music.

The internal workings of Gen AI models can lack

transparency and explainability, making it
challenging to build trust and ensure
accountability.

Additional issues specific to Gen AI in education

include bias, misinformation, and overreliance on
AI tools.

AI Literacy

AI Literacy encompasses:
● Understanding how AI works
● Using AI responsibly
● Recognizing its social and ethical
impacts
● Understanding AI’s potential benefits
and risks and how to mitigate the risks

Perspectives
 Trust in AI
Students have a tendency to 'trust' the AI and blindly copy and paste
the code but lack the skills to 'talk to' the code with AI and truly
understand what is going on. This causes them frustration when later
attempts don't work, and they lack the vocabulary or experience
needed to properly explain what problems or tasks need to be done to
their AI assistant.

- Graham Nolan, computer science teacher, Hong Kong

International School
 AI Will Change Education

Schools will need to engage in deep discussions of what students

should know and be able to do in the new era of AI. I think AI will push
making education more relevant to the individual student, and the
knowledge and skill s/he will need to transact with his/her life
circumstances.

— District superintendent, California

 AI in CS Education

When it comes to AI education, we do not have the luxury of burying

our heads in the sand. Computer science teachers have the
opportunity and responsibility to lead students in understanding the
societal and ethical implications of AI: the good and the bad, the
benefits and harms, the possibilities and realities.

- Charity Freeman, CSTA Board Chair

 AI in Software Development

We believe AI-assisted coding will fundamentally change the

nature of software development, giving developers a new tool to
write better code easier and faster

— Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft

 We Need AI Guidance

We can’t control it and we can’t ban it but we can help students

learn to use it, in a supervised way, in a thoughtful way and a
meaningful way.

— Sarah Eaton, Associate Professor University of Calgary,

expert in AI education
 Bridging Opportunity Gaps with AI

I think the driver for me is really looking at the jobs of the future and
looking at it through the economic lens. I see [AI] as a window of
opportunity for communities like mine, to catch up to the rest of
society by giving [students] skills and access to a technology that has
never been at their fingertips before.

— Jerry Almendarez, District superintendent

 AI Will Be Harmful

AI will make it where people are totally dependent upon it.

Students need to learn how to think, solve problems, and make
decisions based upon facts, not what AI says. We are dumbing
down our country when we take away the skills needed to make
wise decisions.

— District administrator for curriculum/instruction, Arkansas

 AI Can Promote Creativity
AI can support any part of the creative process. If a student is stuck
in brainstorming, AI can help generate multiple ideas. If another
student is good at brainstorming but needs help refining their work,
AI can act as a thought partner, providing critique. This is what's
exciting about AI designed for creativity! It makes the steps of the
creative process explicit and helps students overcome obstacles. It
removes that fear of the blank canvas.

— Brian Johnsrud, Director of Education Learning and Advocacy

at Adobe
 AI Has Benefits and Drawbacks
AI can really help teachers (for example, a Spanish teacher can ask it
to write a short story using certain vocabulary words and certain
grammatical features). However, it can be harmful when students use
it to get answers for questions on their assignments or to do writing
assignments for them, because it's impossible to prove, unlike
traditional plagiarism.

— High school teacher, California

 AI Can Perpetuate Bias

We know that AI is putting out incredibly biased content. Humans

come in with biases and preconceived notions about students in their
classroom. AI is just another place in which unfairness is being laid
upon students of color.

— Amanda Lenhart, Head of Research at Common Sense Media

Stage 3 with potential to scale to support the education system.
Stage 1 Guidance and Policy

What guidance and policies are needed now to address immediate

risks so that AI does not undermine learning in the coming year?

● Ensure that AI use complies with existing security and

privacy policies,
● Provide guidance to students and staff on topics such
as the opportunities and risks of AI
● Clarify responsible and prohibited uses of AI tools,
especially uses that require human review
● Define academic integrity standards related to AI.
Stage 2 Organizational Learning

How can we make a small but strategic investment in harnessing the

experiences of educators that are already excited about AI to
facilitate organizational learning?

● Prioritize professional development for all staff

● Bring together individual educators' experiences with
AI to document successes, identify gaps, and build
collective organizational knowledge and capacity.
● Include operational considerations such as evaluating
AI tools already in use and creating selection criteria
for future evaluations.
Stage 3 Improvement and Transformation

How can we identify areas for improvements and effective

transformations with potential to scale?

Transformations may include:

● Personalized learning
● Project-based learning aided by real-time and
augmented feedback
● A shift to competency-based education
● Reduced paperwork allows teachers more time for
student connection and support

 6 Agency
Maintain human decision-making when using AI.
Discussion Questions:
✅ Do our policies clarify that staff are ultimately responsible for any
AI-aided decision and that AI is not solely responsible for any major
decision-making or academic practices?

✅ How do our policies ensure that students retain appropriate agency in

their decisions and learning paths when using AI tools?

Discussion Questions:
✅ Does our education system’s guidance on AI recognize the need for
continuous change?

✅ Has the education system reassessed existing products, as their providers

may have added AI features since their initial evaluation?

✅ Is there a plan for community input on AI policy and implementation,
