There are many urgent questions about AI and children’s learning today. Is AI’s ability to provide quick answers undermining children’s critical thinking? What happens when children form attachments to AI companions? How should educators and parents evaluate risks and opportunities of AI in children’s lives?
In this professional development workshop, Drs. Xu and Landesman from the Child-Centered AI Lab at the Harvard Graduate School of Education will introduce what current research does—and does not—tell us about AI’s impact on children’s development. Our goal is to help educators, school leaders, and parents move beyond fear or hype and toward informed, child-centered decisions about AI.
The workshop will be organized around a series of interactive activities designed to help participants engage with emerging evidence, real-world perspectives, and practical decision-making tools.
By the end of the workshop, participants will be better equipped to ask critical questions about AI, interpret emerging research evidence, and support children’s learning and well-being in an AI-rich world.
