NY Times reporter, Natasha Singer, will join SFCxUS to talk about her upcoming book "CODING KIDS: Big Tech's Battle to Remake Public Schools." Natasha has been covering tech industry influence in schools since 2014, including stories on how Google took over the classroom; how tech giants are racing to train teachers on A.I. and embed their A.I. chatbots in schools; how some schools are pulling back on Chromebooks; how A.I. deepfakes harm teen girls; and how teachers, students and their parents are fighting back.
