Educators and leaders serve as the champions and gatekeepers of technology use in schools. They need to consider how AI can change education for the better while keeping in mind cultural, social, and emotional concerns that cannot be isolated from educational settings. Jackson and Papa examine existing literature and include insightful interviews with professionals in AI and education to understand how educators currently perceive and use AI. They also illustrate the similarities and differences in how educators and A.I.ED developers envision AI's present and future.
