As artificial intelligence continues to occupy more and more aspects of everyday life, many are asking how to prepare the younger generation to adapt to the change.

Paul Turnbull, president of the Mid-Pacific Institute, was invited to speak at a panel at an NVIDIA conference in March on the topic of AI literacy.

Mid-Pacific Institute has long had an emphasis on technology and learning, and its advisory council includes members from Microsoft and NVIDIA.

More information about the NVIDIA conference attended by Turnbull, titled “AI Literacy at Scale: K-to-Career Access That Delivers Real Student Outcomes,” can be found here.
