Class in the Digital Classroom: Rethinking Technology Access and Educational Equity
Unequal access to AI literacy is becoming the new class divide in higher education.
Overview
This presentation argued that generative AI tools are reshaping educational opportunity in uneven ways. While some students gain strategic advantages through early access and guided instruction, others remain excluded from meaningful AI literacy. The talk reframed AI not as a threat to learning but as a structural force that can either widen or narrow inequality depending on institutional response. By situating generative AI within class dynamics, the presentation highlighted the need for deliberate, equity-driven integration.
