Keynote: Advancing Inclusive Education in an Era of AI

School systems around the world are faced with a range of goals and priorities – from addressing learning loss and retaining top teacher talent to equipping students with the skills they need for an AI-enabled future. These priorities are complex and require a nuanced, intentional approach. 

Is the technology built for learning and teaching?

Does it promote a more equitable, accessible world?

What is the technology’s impact on the environment?

And finally, is the technology built with an integrated approach to privacy and security?

There might not be a single solution, but with a proactive and integrated strategy, educational systems can transform these challenges into opportunities for meaningful change.
