GovTech.com, the online portal to Government Technology magazine, announced the recent launch of the College of Education’s Center for Educational Data Science and Innovation (EDSI).
The article highlights EDSI’s focus on cultivating strong , collaboration and partnerships to lay the groundwork for effective ed-tech tools that leverage data science and AI to advance equity in education.
“The fundamental approach we are taking is different from other AI and education institutions or centers,” said Jing Liu, assistant professor in education policy and director of EDSI. “We take a step back in terms of focusing on building the infrastructure to enable AI innovation in a responsible and ethical way. We also prioritize high-quality research in this space rather than rushing to produce another AI tool."
