Age of AI: AI and the needs of education

Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping every aspect of society, from education and the creative arts to security, public policy, and even human relationships.

Royal Holloway’s Age of AI series of events bring together leading researchers in a range of disciplines across the University to discuss and explore the opportunities, risks and challenges created by AI.

Each event will focus on a different theme – AI and the future of humans, AI and the needs of education, and what is next in the field of AI.

Through these events, our researchers will be reflecting on where we are now, where we are going, and how we can keep human and societal benefit at the centre of our response to such rapid technological change.

AI and the needs of education

Artificial intelligence is transforming teaching, research, and assessment, not just at universities and higher education, but right through primary, secondary, and further education.

Drawing on extensive pedagogical expertise across disciplines, the panel will examine how AI can be used to support learners and educators while addressing concerns around academic integrity, intellectual property, and critical thinking.

• Dr Antara Datta - Department of Politics, International Relations & Philosophy
• Professor Adam Ganz - Department of Music, Drama & Media Arts/CoSTAR
• Professor Lucy Gill-Simmen - Royal Holloway Business School
