This session is part of the special 2024 Crossover Day. Attendance is open to all SXSW EDU badgeholders as well as all SXSW badgeholders. As always, SXSW strongly believes in the power of mixing creative communities.

An interactive conversation about generative AI will integrate two distinctive and powerful vantage points—policy and research—to help participants make sense of the buzzing, blooming confusion of emerging trends in AI use. A major policy leader will reflect on listening sessions and policy activity arising from “AI and the Future of Teaching and Learning” and the “Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights.” An expert researcher will share insights from major research initiatives addressing efficacy, equity and ethics of generative AI. What resources can guide educator's exploration of generative AI?
