Adam Kenneth Dubé is an Associate Professor of Learning Sciences and leadership member for McGill's Collaborative for AI & Society, where he helps support public and academic conversations about how AI is changing education, childhood, work, and society more broadly. He served as the Director of the EdTech Office and Associate Dean for the Faculty of Education at McGill University. He is the McGill Faculty of Education Distinguished Teacher award recipient, the head of the Technology, Learning, & Cognition Lab, and was an Early Career Fellow of the American Educational Research Association and the Society of Research in Child Development in middle childhood education and development.

He investigates and teaches how educational technology augments the learning process and collaborates with industry leaders (Ubisoft) to design educational technologies as well as guides for their use. His work on the use of tablet computers in education is published in the book “Understanding tablets from early childhood to adulthood: Encounters with touch technology.” His work on the use and design of effective educational technology informs his contribution to the UNESCO-MGIEP “Industry guidelines on digital learning.”

His recent work extends this program to AI in education and children’s interactions with AI-driven technologies. In a chapter published in the Handbook of Children and Screens, he and his co-authors examine how children use AI as information sources and social partners, and recommend that parents co-use and monitor these tools, educators teach children how to question and critically evaluate AI-generated responses, developers build greater transparency and privacy safeguards into child-facing AI systems, and policymakers protect children’s privacy as voice-driven AI becomes more accessible

Outside of work, he is an avid cyclist, hiker, and video gamer and can be found at one of Montreal's many coffee shops or parks.
