 * “Driverless cars powered by AL technology could lead to decreased deaths on roadways and alter decisions about where people live in relation to their workplaces” (Horizon Report, 2017, p. 48).
 * AI can find gender bias which can be used to spur conversations in the classroom around psychology (Horizon Report, 2017, p. 48).
 * Potential to reflect human values and address pervasive social problems (Horizon Report, 2017, p. 48).
 * “A chatbot that provides empathetic responses to user input according to user’s selected mood. This development holds potential for future AI to assist in teaching children with autism spectrum disorders about social interactions.” (Horizon Report, 2017, p. 48)
 * “AI can extend teachers’ abilities to foster collaborative learning environments” (Horizon Report, 2017, p. 48).
 * “The possibilities of virtual agents facilitating and moderating students’ small-group discussions” (Horizon Report, 2017, p. 48).
 * “Machine learning can assess learner progress, providing students with insights that promote self-awareness and self-directed inquiry” (Horizon Report, 2017, p. 49).
 * “Educators can utilize AI software for rote, administrative tasks such as grading, allowing more time to focus on curriculum development and student needs” (Horizon Report, 2017, p.49).
 * “Data from AI technologies can illuminate patterns to help educators improve their pedagogies” (Horizon Report, 2017, p. 49).
 * “Machine learning can enable the personalization of instruction while teachers can gain insight into individual learners; journeys to find where they struggle” (Horizon Report, 2017, p. 49).
 * Cons: **.
 * “Potential for profound disruption to societies” (Horizon Report, 2017, p. 48).
 * “The implications for children’s social development and language skills as they interact with artificially intelligent objects are not yet known” (Horizon Report, 2017, p. 48).
 * “AI technologies cannot adequately remove hate speech from Facebook” (Horizon Report, 2017, p. 48).
 * “AI in education are not yet equipped to supplant teachers’ roles in building complex skills including critical thinking, empathy, and creativity” (Horizon Report, 2017, p. 48).
 * “Some school districts lack resources to update computer science curricula to prepare students for an AI enabled workforce, while other educators have not been adequately trained to integrate AI into the classroom” (Horizon Report, 2017, p. 49).


 * __C. Anticipated Uses, Implementation, and Potential Impact on Student Achievement __**

Students may use artificial intelligence to access curriculum at their own pace, allow students on the autism spectrum to develop social/emotional skills,mediate group work and assess student work. Teachers can also use this to collect data, analyze lesson delivery and develop highly effective and engaging teaching skills.
 * Anticipated Uses**:

Teachers can implement this in a variety of ways to serve the needs of their classroom -
 * Implementation:**
 * Use AI to moderate class discussions, allowing "insights that promote self-awareness."
 * Use AI to complete administrative tasks like grading and filing to open up teacher time.
 * Use AI to assist teachers in analyzing their craft - allows them to collect data and reflection areas to work on professionally.
 * Use AI to design lessons that can be adapted to each student and the pace at which they learn. Students do not need to stay all together when learning, AI allows them more independence in their learning since they can access additional assistance when they need it.
 * Use AI by allowing time for students with autism to interact with artificial intelligence helping them to improve social and emotional skills.

Educators can anticipate student achievement improving because of the customized instruction AI can provide when used appropriately for students with autism.AI also allows for reflection to occur regularly and seamlessly in the classroom for both teachers and students. Any time people take time to reflect they will learn and improve, creating teachers who continually enhance their practice and students who developp the habit of reflection as part of their learning.
 * Potential Impact on Student Achievement:**


 * __D. Content Area Exemplar __**
 * 1) Example 1: Math - Students can use artificial intelligence to guide them through a lesson. As the teacher delivers the primary instruction, students might us AI to go back to content or parts of instruction they need repeated or they may go forward to enhance what they are already learning.
