Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming a widespread technology in our society, ranging from marketing and healthcare to predictive analytics and instruction. The potential impact of this innovation on education has recently raised concerns (e.g., plagiarism) but also hopes (e.g., problem solving, assistive learning). Regardless, scant attention has been given to how AI can and should be used with PreK-12 students in terms of constructs like self-reflection. This editorial first briefly introduces the articles in the special issue focused on: “Artificial Intelligence + Education: Love or Hate?” It then introduces a conversational and practical engagement involving three PreK-12 students as they explored AI-based image generation. Outcomes point to important insights that can inform current and future interventions, additional research on this topic, and resulting ethical implications.
