Technology & AI
Artificial Intelligence is no longer just a futuristic vision—it is actively reshaping the way students learn and teachers instruct. This session will explore the transformative potential of AI tutors and instructors, drawing on real-world insights. AI instructors now deliver standards-aligned lessons in math, science, and reading, allowing students to engage in two-way conversations with an AI avatar that is always available, on-demand, and personalized.
The benefits are undeniable: AI tutors can provide 24/7 support without scheduling conflicts, adapt instruction to a student’s pace, and reduce barriers for learners who may hesitate to ask questions in class. With check-in assessments and conversational feedback, platforms like HoloTutor create opportunities for personalized mastery at scale—something traditional tutoring models struggle to match.
But with every innovation come challenges. This talk will address pitfalls educators and institutions must navigate: overreliance on AI that may limit human interaction, ensuring content accuracy and bias mitigation, and maintaining student engagement in a digital-first environment. We will also discuss the importance of aligning AI instruction with curriculum standards, securing data privacy, and establishing a balance between AI-driven efficiency and the irreplaceable value of human educators.
Attendees will leave with a nuanced understanding of how AI tutors can enhance learning outcomes, where the risks lie, and how schools and universities can responsibly integrate tools like HoloTutor into their teaching ecosystem. This session offers practical guidance for leaders eager to harness AI’s power without falling prey to its shortcomings.
