July 16-18, 2025

Cambridge, MA USA

The second MIT AI & Education Summit, hosted by the MIT RAISE Initiative in-person July 16-18, 2025, is where we explore the pivotal role of AI in education and responsible AI use.

The event will cover various themes, including AI literacy, AI-powered tools for education, AI for the global good, and AI-supported personalized learning.

Through talks by world experts in AI education, hands-on workshops, a Climate Challenge, paper presentations, educational panels, and networking events, the Summit aims to excite educators, students, and professionals to embrace AI and collaborate on future initiatives to harness its potential for positive impact in education and beyond. This year we will offer workshops in Portuguese and Spanish sponsored by Google.

As AI continues to evolve, we aim to utilize this summit to reaffirm the need for ongoing dialogue, research, and policy development to ensure its benefits extend to students of all ages and educators objectively.

Last year, along with our 350 attendees, we delved into the immense potential of artificial intelligence to reshape education by emphasizing ethical practices, collaboration, and global perspective, setting the stage for sustained innovation in AI-driven education.

Only plenary talks will be livestreamed. All other activities are fully in-person.

Calls

All papers/posters must be presented in-person at the Summit.

For co-authored papers/posters, at least one co-author must present in-person. There will be no virtual presentations.
