AI in Education Roundtable

Hosted by Miami AI Club | August 26th 2025

The rapid rise of Artificial Intelligence is transforming every sector — and education is no exception. To ensure that transformation is both responsible and impactful, the Miami AI Club Education Task Force convened an exclusive roundtable at Miami Dade College, bringing together educators, technologists, administrators, and community leaders.

Unlike traditional top-down conferences, this roundtable broke silos. It was not a room of only technologists, policy makers, or investors. It was a space where teachers’ voices led the dialogue — the very people guiding students every day.

Key Themes from the Roundtable

• AI as Co-Pilot, Not Replacement
  Educators saw AI as a tool for efficiency and personalization, but stressed the need for human oversight and context.
• Ethical Guardrails & Educator-Centric Guidelines
  Participants called for clear codes of ethics, data privacy protections, and teacher-driven governance structures.
• Protecting Human-Centric Learning
  Teachers emphasized the importance of preserving trust, critical thinking, and mental health in the AI era.
• From Digital Literacy to AI Literacy
  Preparing the next generation requires shifting curricula towards ethical and practical AI use.

Why It Matters

The future of AI in education will not be measured by the sophistication of algorithms, but by how well it:

• Empowers teachers as leaders in learning,
• Nurtures critical thinking and creativity,
• Supports equity and mental well-being, and
• Preserves the human connection at the heart of education.

Whitepaper: Educator Perspectives on AI

The insights from this roundtable have been captured in a comprehensive whitepaper, “Navigating the Integration of AI in K-12 Education.” It provides an in-depth look at the opportunities, challenges, and frameworks needed for responsible AI adoption in classrooms.
