As education becomes increasingly digitized, school districts face growing cybersecurity threats that jeopardize sensitive data and operations. This session explores how artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to fortify cybersecurity in school districts. Attendees will learn how AI-driven solutions can effectively detect, prevent, and respond to cyber threats. IT and cybersecurity K12 experts will discuss AI's unique capabilities in real-time threat detection through machine learning algorithms and its ability to adapt and learn from historical data. Ethical concerns and data privacy issues related to AI implementation will also be discussed, emphasizing the importance of compliance and public trust. Participants will learn practical ways to integrate AI responsibly and create a safer digital learning environment by discussing personalized AI-driven training programs and simulations for cybersecurity preparedness.
