Making Sense of Mixed Signals: AI, Anxiety, Expectations, and the Future of Student Learning | GSVtv

As AI becomes embedded in classrooms, workplaces, and daily life, the conversation is shifting from possibility to impact. New research from Walton Family Foundation and Gallup on how teachers are using AI, taken together with Gallup, Walton Family Foundation and ASU+GSV’s research on Gen Z’s perspectives around these new tools point to a growing tension: while AI offers enormous potential, many Gen Z learners are expressing rising levels of anxiety, uncertainty, and concern about how these tools may affect creativity, critical thinking, and future job opportunities. So what should education and workforce leaders do now? Join us for a forward-looking conversation featuring leaders across education, workforce, and AI innovation as they unpack the signals emerging from this moment and what they may mean for the future of learning and work. Rather than predicting the future, this discussion will explore how thoughtful leaders are responding today: what they’re watching for, how they’re adapting, and where they see the greatest opportunities and risks ahead.
