10:00-11:00am EAAI Panel - AI Ethics Education
Moderated by Sven Koenig (University of Southern California)
Panelists: Benjamin Kuipers (University of Michigan), Judy Goldsmith (University of Kentucky), and Illah R. Nourbakhsh (Carnegie Mellon University CREATE Lab)
Sponsored by the Future of Life Institute
The panel will discuss how, as educators, we can incorporate ethical issues into undergraduate or graduate AI classes, such as the following questions: Do we need to worry about the reliability, robustness, and safety of AI systems? Do we need to provide oversight of their operation? How do we guarantee that their behavior is consistent with social norms and human values? Who is liable for incorrect AI decisions? How will AI technology impact standard of living, distribution and quality of work, and other social and economic aspects?

2:50-3:30pm EAAI Panel - AI for Education
Moderated by Sheila Tejada (University of Southern California)
Panelists: Yolanda Gil (USC Information Sciences Institute), Ayanna Howard (Georgia Tech), Peter Norvig (Google), Mehran Salami (Stanford University), and Sebastian Thrun (Udacity, KittyHawk, Stanford, Georgia Tech)
The panel will discuss how we can apply AI techniques in the domain of education to improve teaching, student evaluation, and learning. The panelists will talk about which aspects of the education problem they were able to address with AI and give insight into the education space, suggesting where other educators and researchers can apply AI tools to improve their own teaching or student learning.
