AI and Societal Decision-Making Summer Workshop for High School Educators

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Join our five-day interdisciplinary workshop and learn the core principles behind artificial intelligence and machine learning through hands-on activities using free and easily accessible computing platforms. Participants will discover the impact of data on machine learning algorithms and debate the social implications of machine learning models. Understanding how this technology works will allow participants to explore its impact on human decision-making in the criminal justice system, public policy, the allocation of scarce resources, and medical diagnoses. In addition, effective strategies for the use of generative AI in the classroom will be addressed. Educators will leave this workshop with a set of teacher-tested units and assignments, ready to be implemented where appropriate into their existing curriculum.
