We don't have to Ban AI like we did Cell phones- we have the Framework to Implement it Responsibly

Welcome back to another episode of Decode, where we dive deep into the intricacies of K-12 computer science education. In this compelling session, we sit down with Pat Yongpradit, the Chief Academic Officer at Code.org and leader of TeachAI, an initiative aiming to integrate AI into schools. With a rich background in special education and computer science across middle and high schools, Pat brings invaluable insights into the evolving landscape of educational technology. 

Today, we'll explore the impact of AI in education, the development of AI literacy, and how we can equip our educators and students to harness AI responsibly and effectively. Join us as we decode the future of education with Pat Yongpradit and discover how AI is reshaping learning environments.
