This session equips teachers to lead meaningful conversations about the future of AI. We’ll explore the potential risks and benefits of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), evaluate the societal impact of deepfakes, and examine the surprising environmental costs of AI through an economic lens. You’ll leave with practical strategies to help students think critically—and creatively—about the technologies shaping their world.
Highlights:
Rethink the Big Questions: Explore how to guide students in evaluating the potential risks and benefits of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)—what’s real, what’s speculative, and what economics can tell us about both optimism and caution.
Teach Misinformation Literacy: Help students critique the societal impact of deepfakes and develop actionable strategies to navigate—and counter—a world where the line between real and fake is increasingly blurred.
Bring Externalities into the Conversation: Use the economics of AI’s energy consumption to spark discussion on trade-offs, unintended consequences, and sustainable innovation. What are the costs, who bears them, and what solutions lie ahead?
PD certifications will be awarded to teachers who attend the live training webinar and complete a quiz.
