AI powered K-12 education fiasco with Shana V. White from the Kapor Center

AI products and features are becoming ubiquitous. When the targets of AI systems are children in school, it should be common sense that the impacts of these technologies should be assessed before reaching the “market” and the privacy of kids subjected to them should be the number one priority of school boards. Of course, it’s not, and serious questions arise. How does the AI hype and the mass deployment of AI “solutions” impact education in the United States? What are the risks and benefits for the educational system? Who is in charge and who does it impact? To answer these questions and more, I am thrilled to have welcomed the most ✨outspoken✨ person I know (and I know quite a few), Shana V White, who works at the intersection of racial justice and tech as the Director of CS equity initiatives at the Kapor Center.
