Join the Tech Impact and Policy Center on January 13th from 12PM–1PM Pacific for AI and Education, a seminar with Peter Norvig.

Stanford affiliates are invited to join us at 11:40 AM for lunch, prior to the seminar.  The Winter Seminar Series continues through March; see our Winter Seminar Series page for speakers and topics. Sign up for our newsletter for announcements. 

About the Seminar:

Traditional lectures serve many students at once but are passive. Individual tutoring does better, but only for one student at a time. This talk explores how Generative AI can democratize the apprenticeship model, transforming education from broadcast to active, inquiry-based learning. With some changes to our approach, we can see AI not as a cheating tool, but as a pedagogical partner that fosters creativity, critical thinking, and personalization.
