This session will provide an exploratory dive into the importance of responsible use of AI and Chat GPT in education and entrepreneurship. By exploring the potential and pitfalls of AI technology, we aim to empower participants to harness AI & Chat GPT benefits for educational and professional success.

Through practical strategies and actionable ideas, we will provide attendees with the tools to integrate AI and Chat GPT in a manner that promotes inclusivity, access, and fairness. We will emphasize the ethical considerations associated with AI, including data privacy, bias mitigation, and responsible algorithmic decision-making.

Furthermore, by co-presenting with high school students, we ensure that diverse voices are represented, fostering a sense of inclusion and promoting representation of underrepresented groups in discussions around AI and technology integration.

The session will also highlight the relevance of AI and Chat GPT in addressing educational and societal inequities. Moreover, by exploring the entrepreneurial potential of Chat GPT, we encourage participants to leverage AI for social good, addressing community needs and promoting inclusive economic development. By sharing innovative approaches and success stories, we hope to inspire attendees to use AI technology to create opportunities and make a positive impact in underserved communities. In summary, this session advances Equitable Development by promoting responsible AI usage, fostering inclusivity, addressing educational disparities, and empowering participants to leverage AI and Chat GPT for equitable and sustainable educational and entrepreneurial practices.
