About this Event
Generative AI is reshaping education at an extraordinary pace, but as adoption grows, we must ask a vital question: who stands to benefit, and who risks being left behind?
This conference will examine how we can harness AI as an opportunity to promote participation and inclusion for all learners. Despite growing interest in AI, much remains unknown about its impact on different communities and what responsible, inclusive use should look like.
Bringing together researchers, industry experts and teachers, this event will discuss how designing and using Generative AI can be used to increase access and support. Through a curated programme built with discussions and examples of AI in Education, we'll explore both the opportunities and the challenges of shaping AI’s role in education.
Speaker bio and full conference programme will be announced soon.
