Harnessing AI Toward Human Flourishing

These segments address the most urgent challenge facing education and society: integrating rapidly evolving AI tools while centering essential human connection.

Peggy Yin: Building transformative experiences that center human development

What if you could text your future self and ask for advice? Peggy Yin built that. She believes the best AI tools are ones that ultimately teach us to no longer need them, empowering people to imagine their own futures with clarity and confidence. Her work studies how we work with technology to unlock human potential. CLICK HERE to learn more.

OKO Labs Building teamwork and collaboration as essential future-ready competencies

Matt Miller asked educators “what would you do if an extra set of hands showed up?” Repeatedly, he heard, “I’d pull a small group.” That insight shaped OKO Labs, an AI-powered solution designed not just for math mastery, but for explicitly building teamwork, collaboration, and communication skill, making small-group learning a reality for every classroom. OKO fades into the background so teachers can focus on what humans do best: mentor, coach, and help young people learn to think. CLICK HERE to learn more.

Student Roundtable Taking risks for a better future

What does AI mean to the generation inheriting it?
Hannah Gross, Mashiko Lortkipanidze, Odist Powell, Jr., and Peggy Yin, young people who are already shaping how technology gets built and governed, came together for a candid conversation. They reflect on AI’s power to either deepen inequity or advance it, why tech conversations shouldn’t swallow every other urgent social problem, and what it means to bet on yourself in a world moving fast.
