Webinars: An inclusive AI: Supporting students with special education needs

How can artificial intelligence help create more inclusive learning environments for students with special education needs? And why is it important that we gain a deeper understanding for advancing, and responsibly using, AI in the context of special education to promote equity and inclusion in schools and in society? In this webinar we presented insights from a recent OECD working paper examining AI tools designed to support learners with diverse needs in achieving their educational goals. Following this, along with an expert panel, we looked at the research foundations, development processes and practical applications of selected AI tools, highlighting both their potential benefits and associated risks. Speakers included: Andreas Schleicher, Director for Education and Skills at the OECD Kate Griggs, Founder and CEO of Made in Dyslexia Prof. Jinjun Xiong, Director of the Institute of AI and Data Science, and the Scientific Director of the National AI Institute for Exceptional Education, University at Buffalo Moderated by Duncan Crawford, Senior Content Manager, OECD Directorate for Education and Skills
