Overview
With the increased accessibility of generative AI over the last two years, debates have emerged among educators regarding its impact on academic integrity, ethics, and concerns about students over-relying on technology for tasks intended to foster critical thinking and personal growth. In this session, we’ll focus on why high school students are increasingly turning to AI to enhance their learning. We will explore the key factors driving student engagement with AI, as well as the ethical and academic challenges it presents. Join us to discover how AI is reshaping the classroom and what it means for the future of education.
