Creating New Possibilities in Education through Google Gemini and Vertex AI, While Maintaining the Highest Standards for Data Security and Privacy
K12 and Higher Education institutions are increasingly turning to AI to enhance student learning outcomes, streamline administrative tasks, and drive research innovation. This webinar will delve into the transformative power of Google Gemini and Google Cloud AI solutions, showcasing how these cutting-edge technologies can empower faculty, staff, and students.
Discover how Gemini for Google Workspace is being used to transform education by helping educators, students, and leaders save time, inspire creativity, personalize instructional, and learn confidently. We'll also explore the vast potential of Google Cloud's AI platform, Vertex AI, in accelerating research breakthroughs and enabling the development of custom AI applications tailored to your institution's unique needs.
Learn how Google's AI solutions can help your institution achieve its academic and operational goals, while ensuring the highest standards of data security and privacy. Specific topics will include:
Educators and students 18 and up can chat with Gemini free of charge at gemini.google.com with added data protection when using their school accounts – meaning their data isn’t human-reviewed or used to train any AI models. Education leaders can now provide cutting edge, secure, and seamlessly integrated GenAI technologies across their organizations.
Gemini for Workspace provides access to Gemini across the Workspace apps you already know and love, integrating an AI-powered assistant across Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Meet, and more that can help you save time, create captivating learning experiences, and inspire fresh ideas — all in a private and secure environment.
Key use cases and examples of how faculty, staff, and students are transforming teaching, learning, and work with Google Gemini
Google Cloud Vertex AI platform was created to empower schools to easily build and deploy school specific AI applications, even without extensive coding knowledge. To manage a wide deployment of applications, data sets, and more. Where a school can dedicate detailed parameters to AI, and the outcomes are monitored and managed.
