Charlotte – The schools of Charlotte -Mecklenburg explored artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and confidentiality of data in public education on May 7 at its second annual summit on the confidentiality of AI data.
“In recent months, we have participated in an intentional listening path to better understand how our CMS community wants us to approach artificial intelligence in our district,” said Candace Salmon-Hosey, director of technology. “Whether through discussion groups, interviews or surveys, your voice has shaped where we are today.
The summit served as a platform to deepen understanding, promote collaboration and launch the vision of the CMS and the guiding principles.
The summit included a cat by the fireside featuring the executive director of CMS, the educational technology Rebecca Lehtinen and the senior of the Ardrey Kell high school, Zahara Mushinge, who is also a member of the student advisory advice of the Superintendent.
The conversation between Lehtinen and Mushinge stressed the importance that the students' voice must guide how the CMS addresses the opportunities and challenges of AI.
“The day of graduation, I hope that each CMS student crosses the scene knowing not only how to use AI, but how it works,” said Mushinge. “Whether someone is entitled, healing or any area, AI will be part of it. I love the way CMS is preparing for us, that we are registered, enlisted or employee. ”
The main lecturer Michael Sulmeyer, the main cyber-adviser of the defense secretary, shared information on security, infrastructure and the preparation of policies. Later at the top, Jeremy Grant-Skinner, a senior member of the Group ILO, addressed the AI future in his speech, challenging educators to adopt innovation while protecting equity and confidence.
The resident of South Charlotte, Sterling Patterson, who is a parental representative and also participates in the advisory director of the parents of the Superintendent Crystal Hill, shared her take -out dishes with the group and spoke of her appreciation for her involvement in the discussion.
“Sit in the room and hear from first hand how much work has been done in the past year and the useful intentional approach of AI had such a hard -hitting impact,” said Patterson. “I will share my experiences with CMS families every time I have.”
Hill stressed the importance of formatting, and not simply to react to technology in education.
“AI is not the objective. This is the catalyst,” said Hill. “And the question is not only:” How do we use AI? ” But “what can AI do to help us learn, teach and work better, together?” “”
Hill encouraged participants to move forward with attention and daring,
“If we do it well, we are not only preparing students in today's technology,” she said. “We are preparing for them.”
