Round Table - 60 Min
1. What policies should be in place to ensure the responsible and ethical use of generative AI technologies in educational settings? 2. How can policymakers collaborate with relevant stakeholders to ensure that teaching and learning processes are enhanced while sustaining creativity, critical thinking and problem solving? 3. How can policymakers ensure that the use of generative AI by youth in education is inclusive, age-appropriate and aligned with their developmental needs and abilities?
What will participants gain from attending this session? Insights: The roundtable will bring together young students, educators, policymakers, industry experts, and researchers who will share their knowledge, experiences, and research findings. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the latest trends, best practices, and innovative approaches to using AI in educational settings. They will gain insights into where the field is heading, which can help them identify potential areas of innovation. It is expected to stimulate the engagement of youth leaders. Exposure to real-world examples: There will be exchange of real-world case studies and examples of AI implementation in educational settings. Attendees will learn about successful use cases and the impact of AI on student engagement, educational practices and need for intervention. These case studies will provide practical insights and inspire attendees to explore similar approaches in their institutions. Exposure to tools: Tools for content generation, coding and programming assistance, collaborative storytelling, and data-driven feedback mechanisms will be explored.
Description:
We are seeing a surge in AI-enabled applications across sectors. In education, one particular branch of AI, generative AI, is gaining attention for its potential to revolutionize teaching and learning practices. Generative AI, which encompasses algorithms capable of generating original content, promises personalised learning experiences and aims to improve educational outcomes. As with any powerful technology, multiple concerns surrounding its effective implementation in education exist. Some of them are concerns around limited understanding and dependence on technology, lack of control, algorithmic bias, and broadening of the digital divide, as it could potentially limit access for underfunded schools or districts. With experiences and perspectives differing across stakeholders of all age groups, this session explores the integration of generative AI technologies in educational settings and policies for effective implementation keeping the impact on youth and the future of learning and work in the forefront. The session will give participants insights into the potential benefits and challenges of incorporating generative AI into teaching and learning practices. Through an intergenerational and diverse roundtable, the discussion will bring together young students, educators, policymakers, industry experts, and researchers to also discuss the key factors and strategies for fostering effective collaboration. Additionally, the discussion will highlight the importance of digital literacy, critical thinking, and ethical decision-making in the context of generative AI for youth. Participants will leave the session with practical strategies, policy considerations, and resources to effectively leverage generative AI technologies, ensuring positive learning experiences that empower and support the growth and development of young individuals. The structure: Roundtable (60 minutes) Introduction and audience poll: 5 min Policy question to speakers: 10min Hybrid poll and audience intervention: 5 min Policy question discussion: 10 min Hybrid poll and intervention: 5 min Policy question to speakers: 10 min Q/A from the offline and online audience: 15 min
Expected outcomes: On ground experiences of stakeholders when developing, deploying and using generative AI based tools in education. Practical inputs from the youth on the way forward and required collaboration from the community for an effective implementation of the technology including leveraging the IGF community. Specific outcomes: Policy brief or report summarizing key findings, insights, and policy recommendations generated during the session will be shared widely with IGF participants, policy makers, and relevant stakeholders. The outcome of this event will be documented in the official report of Youth IGF India 2023, which is shared with the youth of India and the various bodies supporting the cause.
Hybrid Format: The structure: Roundtable (60 minutes) Introduction and audience poll: 5 min Policy question to speakers: 10min Hybrid poll and audience intervention: 5 min Policy question discussion: 10 min Hybrid poll and intervention: 5 min Policy question to speakers: 10 min Q/A offline and online audience: 15 min The session is designed such that onsite and online participants get enough opportunities for intervention throughout the session and not just towards the end. Use of polls (tools such as mentimeter) will ensure inputs in a hybrid format. In addition, before every discussion on a policy question, participants are given an opportunity to discuss the poll and share their interventions on the topic. Towards the end of the session, there is a live Q/A and discussion with everyone. In addition to the chat box, the online moderator will note requests of the online participants and inform the onsite moderator.
