Expert Learning in the Age of AI

Tina Grotzer · Next Level Lab

“What does expertise look like when AI can do the routine work? New findings on how deep expertise develops — and what AI changes about that process.”

The questions AI is raising for education don't have settled answers yet.

The AI Commons

A digital platform for learning and innovation

The AI Commons is HGSE's learning and innovation center for AI in education. Bringing together diverse voices across the education landscape, it's a site for collective knowledge construction — working to ensure that as AI reshapes learning, the learner stays at the center.
