Dr. Henrik von Wehrden and Jorge Gustavo Rodrigues Aboytes from Leuphana University share research showing that AI applications favour technical SDGs over social justice goals, creating important gaps in how technology addresses global challenges. The conversation emphasises K-12 students' natural capacity for systems thinking and advocates for using the SDGs as an interdisciplinary learning framework whilst positioning AI as both a powerful educational tool and an object of critical analysis. Key themes include teaching students to critically evaluate AI outputs and consider ethical implications—principles that align with WCDSB's emphasis on transparency, accountability, and human-centred approaches to AI in education.
