As AI continues to change education and disrupt traditional learning processes, students remain at the core of the issue. AIDEC’s Student Advisory Council brings the student-driven perspective to the center of how we operate and build. The council comprises a group of students who use AI in their own learning, and who help steer our research, our design, and the broader conversation about AI in education.
Student-led learning
The council is a cohort of students who experience AI-augmented education firsthand. Council members help set our research and development priorities and inform design directions, so the questions we ask and the products we build stay grounded in how students actually learn.
Development guidance
Discussions on key questions — how AI should support learning without undermining it, where it helps and where it detracts, what students need most from these tools — are published as guidance for designers and developers across the ed-tech industry. The goal is to raise the floor for everyone building in this space by placing students’ insights and experiences at the core of product decisions.
Community outreach
The council actively reaches beyond itself to enrich our thinking and expand our impact. Members conduct outreach to students across different disciplines, institutions, and stages of education, building a fuller and more representative picture of AI’s impact on learning. A computer science major and a psychology student, for example, encounter AI in their studies very differently, and capturing that contrast is precisely the objective. The wider the range of learners informing the council, the stronger our recommendations become.
