AI and higher education: scenes from ASU-GSV

Hello from San Diego. I'm at the ASU-GSV conference for various purposes, the leading one being tracking how educators, companies, and financial firms are thinking about AI. Here I’ll share some notes from the day. I began by going to the AIR Show, the event’s spinoff focused on AI and education. It took place at a separate hotel, and apparently included a lot of K-12 teachers and staff for the two days before I arrived. A medium-sized vendor’s hall greeted me with a mix of AI start-ups and established players showing their new or modified wares.
