Yao Zhang is the Founder and CEO of Roboterra, a company that develops creative robotic products designed to stimulate creativity and cultivate the next generation of STEM talent. According to Zhang, “We must challenge our thought processes around AI and deeply consider its implications and potential throughout our work in the design of algorithms, hardware, and policy. This rethinking should begin with a thorough analysis of our global education system and a consideration of the journey learners and AI are making together.”
AI advancements are accelerating, and education is positioned to take thoughtful advantage of revolutionary technologies. Voice-control devices, companion robots, and other advancements are transforming how students and adults learn. Careful implementation is crucial, and participants at the Curiosity Conference will deeply consider a wide range of topics including – designing for creativity, man vs. machine in the workforce, accelerating inclusion for all and reaching human fulfillment. Educators, technology leaders, investors, analysts, media members, product developers interested in these and other compelling topics can register for the Curiosity Conference here.
