Save the Date. Artificial intelligence is transforming how researchers collect, analyze, and learn from data. As AI systems become increasingly integrated into scientific discovery, business decision-making, and policy analysis, they are reshaping both the questions researchers can ask and the methods they use to answer them.

The rapid acceleration of AI comes with a profound wave of anxiety. Across every sector of society, people are facing unsettling questions about their worth and their place in a shifting world.

Generative AI is entering classrooms at a breathtaking pace, often presented as a solution for efficiency by automating tasks such as writing, grading, feedback, and even classroom management. While convenient, these uses risk promoting a shallow, transmission-oriented model of education, one where teachers become content moderators, students become prompt engineers, and learning collapses into producing answers rather than developing understanding. In this talk, I offer a different vision that I call learning by creating. Decades of learning sciences research show that understanding deepens when students actively engage in creative work such as modeling systems, designing solutions, and constructing artifacts that make thinking visible and open to reflection. Drawing on my work at the intersection of AI, design, and education, I will show how human-centered AI systems can support learners as thinkers, creators, and problem-solvers. By moving beyond shallow automation toward AI that supports learner agency, we can build learning experiences that invite deeper engagement and work for a broader range of students.
