From Values to Action: Human-Centered Education in the Age of AI

Problematizing the dominant marketing narratives about AI's "speed," "efficiency," "scale," and "productivity," this interactive keynote reframes generative AI's impact on education around the human values, skills, and concerns that matter most to us as educators. What happens when we approach generative AI's emergence using a different set of terms—concepts like "community," "trust," "patience," and "discernment"? Drawing on Analog Inspiration, a card deck project featuring over 80 concepts ranging from "accessibility" to "wonder," this session introduces and explores the notion of human-centered AI pedagogy. Using human values, skills, and concerns as a lens, attendees will acquire practical strategies for cultivating trust with students, making student thinking visible, fostering intrinsic motivation, and strengthening the human relationships that anchor the work of teaching and learning. Participants will have a chance to engage with the Analog Inspiration cards during the session, and will leave with concrete teaching strategies they can implement in their own classrooms. 


Teaching the Machine to Teach: Toward a Human-Centered, AI-Forward University

Generative AI can answer almost any question, but answering is not the same as teaching. This session looks at what it takes to design AI that genuinely supports how people learn, and how careful design of the systems around a model keeps human judgment and relationships at the center. Rachel Koblic draws on hands-on work building learning systems to offer a grounded picture of what a human-centered, AI-forward university could be.
