What does the district’s AI Student Council think about artificial intelligence a year after first meeting with Supt. Mark Pearmain? Mark sat down with them to find out!

To round out the school year, a select group of tech-inclined Grade 7 to 12 students updated Mark on the most significant changes with AI in their learning since September. They shared an inside look into how they’re personally using AI, where it’s benefitted them most and what their latest concerns are as AI continues to evolve.

Their discussion touched on everything from privacy to environmental impacts, consistent guidelines and what the future holds for learning with AI in the district.

This school year’s council included some familiar faces from our first video, as well as a few new ones, expanding the number of student perspectives on AI in Surrey and White Rock schools.
