Dr. Pati Ruiz is a Senior Research Scientist for Learning Sciences and Emerging Technologies at Digital Promise. A former K-12 technology leader, Pati also spent 16 years teaching Spanish and computer science in grades grades 6-12 before becoming a researcher. Her research focuses on equity and inclusion in computing, the use of emerging technologies for teaching and learning, and educator professional learning. Recently, her work has focused on promoting equity and accountability in artificial intelligence (AI). She particularly interested in the consequences (intended and unanticipated) of emerging AI technologies on historically excluded populations and students experiencing marginalization, specifically Latinx/e, Black, Indigenous, and students with disabilities. She believes that as computing and AI continue to gain attention in learning environments, it is essential to listen to student, family, and educator voices in order to make the most of these powerful new AI-mediated learning experiences.
