Using the form below, teachers should submit students’ video questions for the journalists by Feb. 18.
When The New York Times Learning Network asked students to share their experiences with and questions about generative artificial intelligence, over 1,200 responses poured in. Young people worldwide are wondering about how the technology is reshaping our brains and our culture, what it means for the future of school and work, and what it would look like to develop ethical practices around the development and use of the technology.
Now, The Learning Network is excited to team up with the Pulitzer Center, a nonprofit organization that funds and supports international journalism, to answer pressing questions live and expand the conversation around the potential benefits and harms of A.I.
Join us on March 4 at 1 p.m. Eastern time to hear from Kashmir Hill, a Times reporter covering technology and privacy, and Joanna Kao, a senior editor leading the Pulitzer Center’s A.I. Accountability Network. These journalists will answer your questions and talk about how they navigate the shifting technology landscape to bring the public quality reporting on the latest developments in A.I. and its impacts.
This event is designed for middle and high school students and educators, but all parents and educators are welcome to bring their students. Register here.
