Hundreds of Alexandria City High School seniors are set to graduate next month.
Graduation will be held the morning of Saturday, June 6, at George Mason University’s EagleBank Arena (4400 University Drive) in Fairfax. The processional begins at 8:45 a.m. and the ceremony lasts approximately two hours. This is the second consecutive year that Alexandria City Public Schools will use Tassel, an artificial intelligence company, to provide automated name-reading services.
Alexandria City Public Schools has taken a step forward in crafting school policy around artificial intelligence.
The district formed an “AI Impact team” earlier this summer, taking a proactive approach to determine how AI can be used to the benefit of the schools, a report said.
Former Vice Mayor Bill Cleveland is not the most tech-savvy person, but he says he’s eager to bring his perspective in law enforcement and city legislating to the new AI Task Force.
Cleveland, who emphasized that he is “still learning about AI”, is one of ten members of a new task force assembled by Gov. Glenn Youngkin to tackle policy questions about artificial intelligence.
A new gallery on display this month at the Del Ray Artisans Gallery (2704 Mount Vernon Avenue) explores the risks and opportunities new technology like machine learning pose for artists.
The exhibit “Artificial or Intelligence?” explores the impact AI trends are having on artists. That impact has, by and large, been almost entirely negative, with image generating software stealing from the work of human artists, but the gallery offers that exhibit viewers should draw their own conclusions.
