Join Me at the NAfME Town Hall on AI
I was recently asked to become a member of the NAfME Task Force on AI in Music Education. I am truly honored to serve on this new committee with some of the brightest minds in music education and technology. The goal of the committee is to provide resources and guidance on how music educators should address the fast growing integration of AI powered tools in schools around the world. The task force is looking closely at the latest advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the potential to significantly transform the landscape of music education. As new technology becomes integrated into school systems, it’s important for educators to understand the potential impact for their students and their classrooms. NAfME will continue monitoring developments in AI technology and provide our members with the latest information on AI policy, regulation, and its application for teaching and creating music. NAfME has issued a SURVEY for members to take that covers a wide variety of topics, concerns, and considerations.
The first public interaction between this new task force and NAfME members will be taking place on Monday, May 20th from 8:00 - 9:15pm ET. The title of the event is A NAfME Town Hall on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Music Education: What It Is and Why It Won’t Replace You. Registration for the event is FREE, but required. You can sign up to attend HERE. The topics covered at this event are as follows:
What are some important frameworks for understanding AI during this time of unprecedented rapid change?
How is AI impacting you now? How are you using it?
What is your biggest concern about AI?
What questions do you have about AI and its impact on music education?
In your ideal scenario, what is your best hope for AI in music education?
The format of the Town Hall is a panel discussion with presentations on various topics and some breakout rooms. I am really looking forward to this event and I hope that you will join me.
