Description

​Students are already using AI. This panel conversation will tackle what's actually happening: the different ways students are using it, what it might be doing to how they think and learn, and what it means when a chatbot becomes a student's go-to when they're stressed or stuck, not just a source of homework help.

​Three things we'll get into:

  • ​The range of ways students are actually using AI, and why one story doesn't fit them all

  • ​Whether AI is changing how students think, not just what they turn in

  • ​What it means when students reach for AI instead of a teacher, tutor, or someone else, when they're overwhelmed or need support

​This is for anyone who teaches, parents, or works with students, or just cares about where education is headed.

​Panelists:

​Seth Fleischauer, Founder & President of Banyan Global Learning, host of Make It Mindful: Insights for Global Learning

​Mohan Nair, author of Unreachable: How Not to Lose Your Mind in an AI-Obsessed Era
