Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) has a wide range of potential applications in education, and comes with plenty of risks. At Bellwether, we bring deep research, viewpoint diversity, and pragmatism to help practitioners, policymakers, and funders make sense of this rapidly changing technology. Our only agenda is ensuring that AI does as much good as possible for all students, particularly those furthest from opportunity.
Our Work
We’re evaluating how AI is poised to reshape the education sector by doing what we do best: digging into the nuances, identifying patterns, and distinguishing signal from noise. Our goal is to ensure AI delivers meaningful benefits while surfacing concerns that need attention.
Research and publications: Our team conducts research, convenes experts, and releases field-facing publications to help ensure education leaders understand how AI is evolving and key issues to watch. See below for a list of publications, including released reports and newsletters.
Advising: We partner with nonprofits, ed tech providers, systems, and funders to make sense of AI and develop a coherent strategy from vision through implementation. We help organizations think about how AI will impact their work leveraging the best of what our cross-functional Strategic Advising and Policy and Evaluation experts offer.Â
