If AI is the Answer, What is the Question: Thinking about Learning and Vice Versa
Keynote with Chris Dede
The LHRIC Technology Leadership Institute is designed to provide participants with various opportunities to engage in discussion with experts and vendors around topics that are timely and relevant.
The global economy is moving into an era of Intelligence Augmentation (IA). Science fiction often portrays "intelligence” as involving complementary roles of reckoning and judgment. For example, In the Star Trek series the judgment and decision making of ‘Captain Picard' are enhanced by the reckoning skills (calculations, analysis of multidimensional information, predictions) of the android ‘Data', a machine without human capacities like emotions. The human and machine work synergistically together to be better than their individual abilities. In the next few years, most occupations will shift to require working with a generative AI-based agent that has complementary skills and knowledge to the human worker. This talk will discuss what types of learning are most valuable for students to prepare for these IA interactions in work and life, as well as what types of teaching can utilize generative AI without undercutting students' academic integrity and learning.
Note: This session will be held in person at our LHRIC facilities (450 Mamaroneck Avenue, Harrison NY). A remote option is available; please register separately.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: THE CATALYST FOR A NEW ERA IN EDUCATION
Technology has completely revolutionized nearly every industry around the world and these disruptive systems and tools have forever changed the way we live. In education, however, the question remains as to whether we have truly experienced a complete revolution thanks to technology comparable to other industries, or has it really just been a slow, painful evolution of our older system? With the arrival of artificial intelligence over the last several years, heightened by more recent innovations, the way we have taught and learned for many years is about to change forever. Welcome to education in the era of AI!

Virtual Keynote Series
iGen: Teaching and Guiding the Smartphone Generation
Keynote: Jean Twenge
Today's older kids, teens, and young adults are Gen Z (also known as iGen), the first generation to spend their adolescence with smartphones. Gen Z'ers are growing up more slowly as adolescents, spending more time online, and spending less time hanging out with their friends in person. They are also more motivated by end goals and less by intrinsic joy than previous generations. You'll walk away from this session with ideas for how to better reach this generation in the classroom and help them be happier and healthier overall.

How Will We Respond to the A.I. Revolution?
KEYNOTE: JOHN SPENCER
The A.I. Revolution is here. For some, it’s exciting. For others, it feels terrifying. Still others feel baffled and confused by it. Many of us feel a mix of all three emotions. But one thing is clear. It’s here and it’s not going away. In this keynote, we explore how we might adapt and change as we navigate the new terrain of an AI world. We explore the human skills students will need in a world of smart machines. Ultimately, we’ll be reminded of the hope and humanity we continue to have in a time of epic change.
