  • Ben knew it wasn’t going to solve the problem to ban the use of AI at NEIA. The students’ openness and insight impressed him, and he became interested in helping them collaborate with kids at other schools to talk about the future of AI in education, develop a thoughtful approach to the way they wanted to use it in their own lives, and then share their concepts with the wider world. Essentially, NEIA wants to empower its students to become thought leaders in the rapidly developing conversation around AI in education.
