AI and Emerging Tech

Guided by Evidence, Centered on Learners

Digital Promise investigates how artificial intelligence and emerging technology can safely and effectively enhance teaching and learning. Grounded in research and driven by our commitment to Powerful Learning, we partner with educators, researchers, and developers, we help school systems thoughtfully navigate emerging technology and tools, including artificial intelligence. We evaluate real-world impact to ensure equitable tech adoption, keeping the humans at the center while expanding opportunities for every learner. Our evidence-based approach empowers leaders to prioritize equity, safety, and pedagogical purpose.

Digital Promise’s Work in Emerging Technology

Through research hubs, collaborative projects, and field partnerships, we aim to turn possibilities into improved outcomes for students. We engage in research-practice-industry  partnerships, develop technology frameworks, and lead AI-focused initiatives designed to support practitioners and learners in everyday classrooms.

Artificial Intelligence in Education

We believe artificial intelligence holds immense promise to help us solve complex and persistent challenges in education. Our human-centered approach ensures that AI serves as a powerful tool to augment, rather than replace, the roles of teachers and learners. 

Through our community-engaged research, our collaborative work with school districts and edtech developers, and national R&D centers, we are leading the charge to leverage AI’s potential for all learners.
