This session is part of 2025 Crossover Day. Attendance is open to all SXSW EDU registrants as well as all SXSW registrants. As always, SXSW strongly believes in the power of mixing creative communities.

The rapid integration of AI in the classroom is raising ethical concerns over bias, privacy, and digital divides. How can educators, technologists and policymakers collaborate to ensure the promise of AI can be realized responsibly? We will discuss the questions policymakers and educators can ask of developers, the design principles developers can embrace to ensure transparency, objectivity and accuracy of models and tools, and the role of educators in fostering AI literacy among students.
