Mandy DePriest from our team at AI for Education demonstrates how the artifacts feature works with a quick walkthrough of a common classroom use case. Watch her create an interactive, digital vocabulary quiz in seconds with no code and only a few simple prompts. Check out the recording here.

Khanmigo for Teachers, an AI-powered teaching assistant developed by the well-known nonprofit Khan Academy, is now available for free to all U.S. teachers through a partnership with Microsoft. Khanmigo offers a relatively user-friendly interface that allows educators to start using its tools quickly after signing up.

Earlier this week the ILO Group released its “Framework for Implementing AI in State Education Agencies” providing much-needed strategic guidance to help SEAs navigate the impact of AI on student preparation for college, careers, and the workforce.

We ran another incredible AI for Education Prompt-a-Thon this Saturday, teaming up with Thomas A Edison Career And Technical High School and Playlab AI to empower students and teachers to learn and create with GenAI in Queens South.

We’re excited to share that Catawba County Schools (CCS) has partnered with AI for Education on a three-year initiative to implement GenAI across their 28 schools as part of a competitive, state-funded grant program announced today by the North Carolina State Board of Education.

The Microsoft and LinkedIn 2024 Work Trend Index Annual Report is out, and unsurprisingly, AI is rapidly transforming the global workforce. Based on a survey of 31,000 people across 31 countries, here are the highlights, and what it means for education.

Yesterday the US Senate released a bipartisan “roadmap” for AI policy and priorities with a goal of “harnessing the full potential of AI while minimizing the risks of AI in the near and long term.” Educators, however, won’t be too surprised by where the focus was, and wasn’t.

Big news out of DC as Senator Maria Cantwell and Senator Jerry Moran have introduced the bipartisan NSF AI Education Act that would revolutionize AI education in the US.

In Google's pursuit to stay in the GenAI race, you may have noticed new AI Overviews (AIOs) - AI-generated summaries/answers in Google Search results that are unfortunately sometimes laughably wrong.

A new survey released by the Walton Family Foundation shows growing support from teachers, students, and parents for the use of GenAI in schools, even though training and guidance still lag far behind.

OpenAI released a major change to ChatGPT-3.5 on Monday, paving the way for more widespread adoption globally and lower barriers to experimentation. But it could also have some concerning consequences for students.

A new study from academic researchers shows (again) that these tools are extremely unreliable, and when simple anti-detection techniques are deployed their limited accuracy collapses. What it means and how we should move forward.

Big news in the world of AI and Education as the Los Angeles Unified School District introduces a new AI platform and chatbot named "Ed," designed to assist parents and students as a personal aid.

From Google's Gemini issues to the recent news coming out of Microsoft, we know that GenAI image generators are problematic and deeply biased. Why the "move fast and break things" mentality is just not working for GenAI,

We recently ran our first school-wide “Prompt-a-thon” event at Summit Atlas High School in Seattle. The AI for Education team facilitated a day where students and teachers came together to solve community problems using generative AI, guided by the principles of both design thinking and liberatory design.

Ever been frustrated trying to get GenAI image generators to include specific words only to have it constantly misspell or mangle the letters? Well, we've been experimenting with a free text-to-image creator launched widely yesterday, Ideogram, that's really been delighting our team at AI for Education.

Our work got some air time on CNN this week! As a part of their segment on North Carolina's new AI guidance which features a number of our resources, they highlighted the EVERY framework AI for Education developed in collaboration with Vera Cubero. Watch the clip!

A recent study published in Science shows how babies can teach AI a thing or two about language. NYU researchers developed a machine learning model that mimics the way children learn language, utilizing 61 hours of first-person video and audio from an infant's perspective. The footage was gathered through a head-mounted camera worn by a child from 6 to 25 months (check out the adorable picture below).

This week featured one of the proudest moments for AI for Education. As part of our year-long collaboration with the NYC DOE's HE3AT program, we have been working with a group of 11th and 12th graders from South Brooklyn to help shape GenAI policy proposals as part of the DOE's AI Policy Lab.

Amanda recently spoke at the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) 2024 AI+Education Summit on a panel focused on "What do Educators Need from AI." Her answer was: It’s a lot more than we think.
