Integrating AI in Education
Rethinking education in the
age of AI
Artificial intelligence (AI) has profoundly disrupted the education sector. Whilst there remains caution with its implementation, it is an exciting time to explore the potential of AI to drive innovations in teaching and learning practices.
The Hatchery’s 2nd Integrating AI in Education conference will bring together key leaders, educators and experts to explore the positive potential of AI to transform education and enhance student learning and outcomes. This conference will unpack the present challenges relating to academic integrity, assessment and the ethical implementation of AI in schools, and in light of these concerns, explore practical solutions and best practices for leveraging AI as a tool to innovate teaching and learning.
This event will provide a thought-provoking and collaborative platform to share insights, exchange ideas and unpack the possibilities of AI to enrich the educational and learning experience for educators and students alike
