The AI Mirror Project
Share your voice!
In a sense, the disruption genAI has caused - regardless of whether you see it as a net positive or negative - has held up a mirror to education, giving us new perspectives into known issues and exposing ones that were under the surface.
The AI Mirror Project seeks to gain insight into this unique moment in education through capturing the voices of those living it. So, we are launching the AI Mirror Project to ask the question:
What has the introduction of genAI taught us about issues
within the education system?
The project will progress through three phases:
Hearing from you: Through December 19, 2025, we will use this page to collect submissions from educators, students, caregivers, the most enthusiastic AI evangelists, the most critical skeptics - anyone who is involved in any way with the education system and has reflected on these issues.
You are welcome to capture your thoughts in text, images, video, audio, or whatever format allows you to best share your voice.
Analysis & research synthesis: We will look for themes among the perspectives that are shared, then synthesize those with available research to better understand the issues identified.
Final report: 24th Century Education will compile and share our findings, hoping to use this disruptive moment as a means to better understand our current reality and work towards our goal of building a better future.
While the education system has learned a lot about genAI since its introduction, this project instead focuses on what the introduction of and reaction to these tools has shown us about existing issues such as…
Safety and privacy
Assessment
Human connection
Student engagement and relevance of learning experiences
Individual and systemic bias
The interaction between education and other large systems (government, industry, economy)
Education’s role in maintaining democracy
The influence of tech companies
Media literacy and misinformation
Mental health and digital well-being
Anthropomorphization
The balance between preparing students for working in the existing economy versus equipping them to shape a more just system
The role of teachers
Student agency
Critical thinking and cognitive offloading
… along with any other issue that genAI's introduction has made you consider.
