Last week, I briefed several Congressional offices and a House caucus in Washington D.C. representing education proposals from the Federation of American Scientists #AIPolicy Sprint via the #DayOne project. “Briefing Congress” was not on any list that I could imagine even just a few years ago, and I was so so grateful for the opportunity to represent all the amazing education proposals from the #DayOne cohort. We have a window on AI policy to do something meaningful before it moves, and several growing coalitions including TeachAI Pat Yongpradit and the EDSAFE AI Alliance Erin Mote are fighting for to make education a priority in these discussions. Take a look at the great ideas below and help us make sure education is part of the docket: Comprehensive AI Literacy investments and national strategy (Amanda Bickerstaff Mandy DePriest Corey Layne Crouch): https://lnkd.in/gyCdzaaz Ensuring students with disabilities are empowered rather than harmed by new AI edtech (Nicole Fuller (Jurewicz) and Lindsay Kubatzky): https://lnkd.in/g7Y5MBZi Centering demand rather than supply-driven AI education research (Dr. Byron L. Ernest): https://lnkd.in/g7ws_vyY Helping states navigate the AI moment (Tara Courchaine): https://lnkd.in/gmVbcvfP Reimagining education research cycles for the AI-era (Anastasia Betts, Ph.D., Sunil Gunderia, Diana Hughes, MFA, Erin Lenihan, M.Ed.): https://lnkd.in/gVF-FiSZ National technology corps and training network for classroom educators (Zarek Drozda): https://lnkd.in/gfmEGbRh Huge thanks to Daniel Correa, Jack Titus, Karinna Gerhardt, and Ginger Zielinskie at FAS for helping make this possible!! #AIPolicy #AILiteracy #DataLiteracy https://lnkd.in/gNRVHsTA

Great to see what you're doing out in front of the efforts to make AI work better in education. Seems like we're barely at the beginning of the beginning, and things are already happening at lightning speed.

We're thrilled to announce that the EDSAFE AI Alliance Industry Council (IC) has grown to over 100 companies, just 5 months after launching! This milestone marks a major commitment by leading education and tech companies to ensure AI in education is Safe, Accountable, Fair, and Effective (SAFE). As AI continues to shape the future of education, it's crucial to prioritize the safety and well-being of students, educators, and families. The IC, chaired by Karl Rectanus and partnered with SIIA , advocates for public policy and industry solutions aligned with the SAFE Framework, supporting responsible AI adoption across the education landscape. Why it matters: AI has the potential to transform learning, but it must be done thoughtfully, safeguarding innovation while managing risks. Together, these companies are leading the charge to ensure AI benefits everyone in the classroom. Join us in celebrating this incredible achievement and learn more about how we're shaping the future of education with AI!

In a letter to the House AI Task Force, in partnership with 18 education & tech orgs through EDSAFE AI Alliance and SIIA , we are committed to ensuring AI advances equitable outcomes for learners and improves educator experiences. Given AI's profound impact on the education sector, we strongly encourage a member-level briefing to ensure the voices of students, parents, educators, and innovators are heard. This is vital to discussing AI's potential to improve teaching and learning while addressing risks related to privacy, civil rights, and equity. https://lnkd.in/gHGV5MVj Signees: Center on Reinventing Public Education Committee for Children Consortium for School Networking (CoSN) Data Quality Campaign Data Science 4 Everyone ExcelinEd in Action Imagine Network ISTE ASCD Knowledge Alliance LearningForge LLC National Alliance for Public Charter Schools National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD) National School Boards Association SETDA Alliance for Learning Innovation (ALI) International Centre for EdTech Impact; WiKIT Women Leading Ed #AIforEducation #AIpolicy #EdTech #ResponsibleAI #EducationInnovation
