Now in its fourth year, the AI + Education Summit convenes researchers, educators, technology leaders, policymakers, and philanthropic partners at a moment of real uncertainty—and unprecedented possibility. AI is advancing faster than our learning systems, raising urgent questions about creativity, critical thinking, fairness, trust, opportunity, and what it truly means to learn.
This year’s gathering grapples with that inflection point: how AI, grounded in the learning sciences, can strengthen learning rather than weaken it, expand creativity and critical thinking rather than narrow them, and help us move education from universal access to universal learning for every learner.
The AI + Education Summit is co-hosted by the Stanford Accelerator for Learning and the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI).
