Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping the landscape of education—and gifted education is no exception. From adaptive learning platforms to AI-assisted identification tools, educators now have access to technologies that can personalize instruction, uncover hidden talent, and streamline program administration. Yet alongside these opportunities come critical questions about equity, ethics, and the role of human judgment in nurturing giftedness and talent.
This webinar provides an accessible, practice-focused overview of how AI is impacting gifted education today—and what lies ahead. We’ll explore real-world examples of AI-enhanced tools being used to differentiate instruction, support creative problem-solving, and manage student data in ways that free up time for deeper engagement. Attendees will gain insight into emerging trends, including generative AI for student enrichment, data-informed decision-making for identification, and platforms that adapt content based on student ability and interest.
Join us as we explore how AI can serve as both a tool and a topic in gifted education—supporting students not only in what they learn, but in how they think, create, and lead in a changing world.
