AI Will Reshape Education. Are We Building Tools We Can Trust? | Jim Chilton | TEDxSNHU
Description
AI offers unprecedented promise in education—personalized tutoring, universal access, and tailored learning—but it also brings risks of misinformation, bias, and outright falsehoods. In this compelling TEDx talk, a seasoned tech and education leader explores a looming crisis: without prioritizing accuracy and truth, we risk creating tools we can’t trust. What happens when our students replace reliable sources of knowledge—trained educators, vetted textbooks, and professional librarians—with tools that may not be fact-based? Jim Chilton is a technology executive with a passion for driving growth and transformation. As the executive vice president and Group CTO at Cengage Group, he leads the innovation efforts and ensures that the Group Technology organization aligns with the company's vision. His role encompasses overseeing product engineering, artificial intelligence programs, internal business systems, cloud computing and cybersecurity. He is deeply committed to giving back to the industry and community and serves as an advisor and board members for several organizations. Chilton received the 2020 Inspire CIO of the Year/Boston ORBIE award and has been a finalist for the National Inspire CIO of the Year ORBIE Award in 2023 and 2024. He’s also been a multi-year recipient of the Apprenti Industry award and HMG Global Leadership award. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
