Abstract
Dr. Lesh's second presentation, "The Digital Renaissance in Education: Adapting Generative AI in Pre-Service Teacher and Provider Strategies," offered insights into the transformative role of generative AI in teacher education. Collaborating with Dr. JeVaughn Lancaster virtually, Lesh and Lancaster shared data from a recent study examining teachers' perceptions of AI in academic research. Findings underscored the potential for AI to enhance educational efficiency while also identifying ethical considerations that must be addressed. Lesh and Lancaster advocated for responsible AI training, stressing that generative AI should augment, not replace, educators' expertise and critical thinking.
