Public AI Summit for Educators
I am co-organizing the Public AI Summit for Educators, a free, two-day virtual professional development event focused on helping educators navigate the changing landscape of AI in education. Designed especially for educators at community colleges, public schools, and other broad-access settings, the Summit brings together leading researchers and experienced educators—including keynote speakers Arvind Narayanan, Karen Brennan, and Justin Reich—to explore approaches to AI literacy, assessment, course policies, curriculum design, career readiness, and more. Through keynotes, demonstrations, hands-on workshops, and live Q&As, participants will gain practical strategies and resources for engaging with AI responsibly while supporting academic integrity and critical thinking.
Public AI Summit
I co-organized the inaugural Public AI Summit, a two-day virtual event designed to make AI understandable for the general public. The Summit featured keynote talks by leading AI experts, including Kathy Pham, Arvind Narayanan, Anna Mills, and Maha Bali, as well as interactive workshops that gave participants hands-on opportunities to explore AI tools, risks, and possibilities. Free and open to all, the event brought together over 2,000 participants and created space for conversations about the current state of AI, what we’ve learned about it so far, and how to prepare for what might come next.
Artificial Intelligence “Show-and-Tell”
At this Harvard faculty showcase on generative AI in the classroom, instructors from a range of disciplines—including computer science, English, government, and Romance languages—shared how they are responding to the opportunities and disruptions posed by AI technologies. My presentation focused on my course “Race in the Age of Artificial Intelligence,” highlighting assignments that encourage students to critically interrogate AI systems, their cultural assumptions, and their biases through the lens of race and power.
Faculty Voices: Harvard GenAI Library for Teaching & Learning
The videos in this library, created by the Office of the Vice Provost for Advances in Learning (VPAL), explore the myriad ways Harvard faculty use generative AI tools to support and enhance teaching, learning, and research. Here, I highlight a comparative writing exercise that uses ChatGPT as an object of critical analysis, helping students identify the shortcomings of AI-generated writing and appreciate the value of human perspective, nuance, judgment, and creativity.
Empowering Humanity: Youth and the Evolving Digital Landscape
As an invited speaker for the 5th annual Harvard Undergraduate UNICEF Club Conference, I presented on a panel focused on AI and Misinformation. This conference explored the ways in which technology affects children around the world through shifts in global dynamics and offered perspectives on artificial intelligence and the progression of the Internet, misinformation, mental health, and cybersecurity.
