The Human Compass in an AI World

The “wild west” of AI has arrived in Jewish education, but are we building a tool that enhances our schools or a “black box” that replaces our voices?
This past month, ShalomLearning was at the forefront of this conversation as a lead sponsor and presenter at both the ARJE Annual Gathering and the Jewish Digital Summit. Our Senior Managing Director, Heidi Lovitz, and Director of Client Care, Shira Sender, led a standing-room-only deep dive for more than 80 professionals to address the questions keeping educators up at night.

What we discovered wasn’t a divide between tech-lovers and skeptics but an “Anxious Middle,” a community seeking a compass.
