Option 2: Human in the Loop: What Responsible AI Scaling Actually Looks Like in a Canadian Classroom
Topic: What Responsible AI Scaling Actually Looks Like in a Canadian Classroom
Room: TBD
The Presenter : Rob Long
This hands-on breakout session shows what responsible AI scaling looks like in practice, using real-time visibility and equitable access for younger learners as concrete proof points. Participants test an AI learning tool live and instantly see that interaction appear in a teacher/administrator-facing view, making "human in the loop" tangible rather than theoretical. Canadian privacy expectations are woven in as genuine discussion prompts. The session closes with a simple truth: human potential meeting AI possibility only holds up in a real classroom if the human stays visibly in control.
