There’s a lot of uncertainty among K-12 leaders and educators over what AI means for their future. One thing is clear: AI might not replace you, but someone who knows how to use it will.

While educators are thinking about how artificial intelligence will impact instruction, there’s a generation of students who will need to be prepared for an AI-powered future. What does the field need to prepare young people for this eventuality?

Peter DeWitt will be joined by high school principal Kip Cruz, EdWeek’s Deputy Managing Editor Kevin Bushweller, and Ken Koedinger, Hillman Professor of computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University.
