In this second installment of our occasional series on the implications for public education of artificial intelligence in classrooms and homes, we welcome Dr. Richard Charles, the chief information officer for Denver Public Schools.
A mathematician by training and inclination, Dr. Charles has deep knowledge of AI, its promises and pitfalls. This thought-provoking conversation is well worth a listen.
At DPS, Dr. Charles leads the district’s Department of Technology and its work leveraging data and AI to improve student outcomes. A former STEM and innovation director with a Ph.D. in applied mathematics, he has spent more than a decade designing and scaling technology‑enabled learning in K–12 systems.
Nationally recognized as a leading voice on AI in education, he advises districts across the country on responsible AI, data governance, and innovation in teaching and learning.
