AI in Education: The Benefits and Challenges

In this webinar, Austin Bonner and Pierrette Renée Dagg unpack what AI means for anchors, what benefits we can leverage now, and the guardrails needed to build trust and ensure equitable access. Artificial Intelligence is transforming how we teach, learn, and connect — and anchor institutions are at the center of this shift. From personalized learning to ethical concerns around privacy and governance, AI brings both opportunities and challenges for schools, libraries, and health clinics.
