Ensuring Artificial Intelligence Changes the Arc of Education for Good

This chapter expands on the changes discussed in the previous chapters and on choices surrounding AI in education that center student well-being and success. This chapter covers how educational leaders can respond to the changes that AI will bring to schools. Technology tools that employ AI models will increasingly be able to focus on student emotions in addition to knowledge generation, opening these products to difficult ethical territory. Determining the trustworthiness of AI tools lies tightly with the school administrator’s range of responsibilities. By bringing in ethical frameworks, the content in this chapter explores ways leaders can think holistically about how AI can become part of an educational system that works for all students.
