Presented by: Rachel Riggs

For adult literacy providers, the question about AI isn't just "how do I use this?" but "how do I use it well?” and “why is it worth my time?” In this interactive session, we will move beyond the hype and one-off tutorials to explore a practical, human-centered approach to AI. Let’s discuss the difference between using technology vs. integrating it strategically and responsibly—including knowing when to leverage new AI tools and, crucially, when to turn them off. Drawing on research and examples from adult education, literacy workers in all roles will leave with new insights for maintaining the "human touch" while harnessing the benefits of AI to support your mission.
