AI & Our Shifting Education
AI may not be taking over, but it’s certainly taking a part, in everything. So, perhaps we can stop the worrying and the denying and instead focus on who it’s most likely to affect, and what, and how.
Education as a sector is a slow-moving beast and not known to alter its course swiftly, but some things are surely going to change, going to have to change. Possibilities in the classroom are expanding like a new universe. But also what about beyond the classroom, what about career opportunities - what will emerge and what might become obsolete?
AI & Our Shifting Education focuses on beyond what tech is available for the changing classroom and into where our young learners are headed. Where might we steer them? What lies in the near future?
How do we understand what AI is, how it works and how might understanding this better inform our decisions as we approach new horizons?
We are fortunate to have 3 guest speakers for this POP! Talks.

Darren Coxon is the Founder of CoxonAI, a consultancy specialising in integrating AI into schools and colleges. An educator for 25 years, Darren has most recently managed the operation of school groups, notably Brighton College’s international schools and Britus Education, Bahrain. Darren has been at the forefront of educational technology for many years, including leading the first state 6th form in the UK to move to an iPad 1:1 model. He is now a major thought leader on AI in education. Darren will speak on ‘AI in Education: Where We Are And Where We're Heading’. We've had generative AI for over a year, and step by step can see its huge potential to shift our education system in powerful and positive ways. Whilst being mindful of the risks, this keynote will summarise the point we're at before mapping an optimistic course for the future. |

Adam will speak on ‘AI's impact on recruitment, 2024 and beyond’. Artificial intelligence is creating more opportunities than ever for employers to enhance their productivity and as a result, we are entering the most dynamic phase in the history of recruitment and careers.
