Honey, I Shrunk the Risk: Making AI Governance Simple
Description

Honey, I Shrunk the Risk: Making AI Governance Simple is a high-energy session for school leaders ready to turn AI anxiety into action. Using a playful "movie trailer" theme, this presentation replaces legal jargon with four relatable school scenarios, proving you don't have to choose between innovation and safety. Explore how small governance moves dramatically shrink big risks. Privacy: Stop accidental data sharing when pasting student info into public AI. Curriculum: Keep AI-generated lessons aligned with district standards and goals. Tech Department: Manage the chaos of unapproved "shadow AI" tools. Academic Integrity: Create a shared map for student AI expectations across classrooms. Instead of complex restrictions, learn practical, lightweight guardrails—like approved tool lists, clear staff guidance, and simple workflows. You’ll leave energized with actionable ideas to support instructional excellence so innovation can grow safely!
