Description

Artificial Intelligence tools are everywhere and are likely to affect our lives in profound and lasting ways. To help prepare our students for an AI-driven future, let's make sure they recognize that these tools are fundamentally applications of mathematics. In this session, we'll see how topics from the MS/HS curriculum lead directly to the math that underlies technologies like LLMs, chatbots, and more, and we'll discuss how to make these connections clear and compelling for our students.
