The California State University, Northridge (CSUN) is hosting its third annual Digital Equity Day with a focus on the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This year’s event will feature distinguished speakers Stephen Than and Deone Zell, who will discuss the transformative potential of AI in education. Their insights will explore the revolutionary possibilities that AI presents for reshaping teaching methodologies, breaking down barriers to learning, and ensuring equal opportunities for all students.
In addition to the keynote speeches, CSUN is also showcasing student-led projects using AI to address campus challenges through its AI Jam 2024 competition. The competition will feature a showcase and awards ceremony where students will introduce their problem and project via AI technology.
